Jaguar XJ Ultimate Edition Brings Ultimate Comfort to Its Rear Passengers

Jaguar has unveiled its new flagship XJ, which it is called the XJ Ultimate. Buyers will get added features especially for rear passengers including semi-aniline leather with adjustment and recline, lumbar support and massage function. Jaguar says that it is trying to make the XJ Ultimate the automotive equivalent of a business jet.

Based on the long wheelbase XJ, the car is really meant for business passengers who want to be able to use the rear of the car as an office. There is a power, business table made from a solid piece of aluminum with piano black trim. When not engaged in business there are two champagne flutes and a champagne cooler in the rear center console. Each rear seat comes with an Ipad and a keyboard with a second screen located in the tops of the seats with wireless headphones for infotainment. It also has s 20 speaker surround system for passengers who would prefer not to wear headphones. It is all trimmed in Herringbone veneer, machined aluminum and LED lighting. The ride has also been modified in the rear for a smoother ride for passengers.

Outside, the ultimate has a deeper front air dam, 20in wheels, oval tail lights and Ultimate badges. Jaguar is painting the first 20 XJ Ultimates in Celestial Black, but after that buyers are free to order the car in any color that they like. Jaguar is offering a color matching service that it says can match nearly any shade. 

Power for the XJ Ultimate comes from either Jaguar's supercharged, 5.0l V8 or supercharged, 3.0l turbocharged diesel V6. In 2013, the car will be available with Jaguar's supercharged, 3.0l V6 petrol engine with stop/start.
