The Jaguar XJ (X308) is a luxurious full-size saloon car produced by Jaguar Cars between 1997 and 2003, spanning two generations. It was equipped with the powerful Jaguar AJ-V8 engine and featured Jaguar's innovative independent rear suspension. This model was the final evolution of the Jaguar XJ40 platform, which had been in production since 1986, succeeding the Jaguar XJ (X300) model.
Exterior-wise, the X308 maintained much of the styling elements of its predecessor, the X300, such as the rounded four-headlamp bonnet, low roofline, and distinctive sloping tail. However, it introduced some design updates, including oval indicator lenses (as opposed to rectangular on the X300) and a more rounded shape for the fog lamps and lower valance air intake. These subtle changes gave the X308 a more modern and refined appearance while still retaining the classic Jaguar design cues.
