Powertrain Options and Availability

Basic XJ6 sedans used a dual-overhead-cam inline 6-cylinder engine, rated at 245 horsepower. A supercharged variant of that inline six went into the performance-packed XJR, developing 322 horsepower. In 1995-96, the lineup also included a flagship XJ12 with a 313-horsepower V12 engine. All Jaguars had a 4-speed automatic transmission. Then, in 1998, Jaguar dropped the inline six-cylinders in favor of two new dual-cam V8s. Both 4.0-liters in displacement, they made 290 and 370 horsepower--the second with the benefit of a supercharger. Mated to these V8s was a new 5-speed automatic transmission.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results

Vehicle crash test information not available at this time.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
