Jaguar XJ
After bringing Jaguar back into fashion, the very luxurious XJ sedan may be on the verge of being replaced by a brand-new generation. For now, the 2018 version remains among the most desirable Jags. The basic engine is a 340-horsepower, 3.0L V6 married to an all-wheel-drive system. Meanwhile, the XJR575 is propelled by a 575-horsepower 5.0L V8 and features rear-wheel drive. This noble English automobile combines fine leathers and elegant wood accents.
