2016 Jaguar XJL Portfolio AWD: A Mighty Fine Ride

In its current guise, the XJ series has been around since 2009 and refined each year until the present.

For 2016 Jaguar updated it with subtle exterior changes like a larger, more upright grill and a new mesh pattern, reworked bumper, and chrome blades in the lower intake. New adaptive LED headlights with double J-Blade daytime running lights complete the overall change. Shorter wheelbase XJs are equipped with additional aerodynamic enhancements while long-wheelbase models receive more luxurious interior features. The XJR models get Black Pack exterior styling ques. The 2016 XJL Portfolio is powered by a 3.0 liter Twin-Vortex Supercharged V-6 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters if you so desire to drive. An all-aluminum body construction saves weight and enhances performance. A 5.0 liter Supercharged V8 with 470hp and 550hp variants are available, but we feel that the Supercharged V6 is more than adequate.
