Since the takeover by Indian automaker Tata, Jaguar products have changed – and for the better. This is certainly the case with the XJ, which regained its prestige of days past after a serious overhaul last year. As the brand’s flagship vehicle, the XJ gives drivers the luxury and power they’re looking for. As their names suggest, the Supercharged and Supersport versions feature supercharged engines.
