Year to Year Changes
2005 Jaguar XJ Series:
Jaguar expanded its XJ lineup for 2005 with a long wheelbase body style. Three models were offered on the new 124-inch wheelbase chassis, the XJ8L, the Super V8, and the Vanden Plas, which had been on the standard 119-inch wheelbase in 2004. Only the XJ8 and XJR remained on the standard wheelbase in '05. The new Super V8 included more amenities, but also offered the supercharged V8 without a sport suspension. Vanden Plas and Super V8 models came with wood fold-down trays for the rear seats.
2006 Jaguar XJ Series:
Jaguar revised the XJ's front end styling and added a new topline model called Super V8 Portfolio for 2006. Built on the extended 124-inch wheelbase chassis, the Portfolio added 20-inch tires (vs. 19s), unique interior and exterior trim, a rear center console, and touring suspension to the Super V8.
2007 Jaguar XJ Series:
XJ carried over unchanged.
2008 Jaguar XJ Series:
The 2008 Jaguar XJ Series got a mild exterior facelift and a slightly revised interior.
