The Jaguar XJ (XJ40) is a full-size luxury saloon produced by Jaguar Cars from 1986 to 1994, serving as the second-generation XJ model to replace the Series III. While the XJ40 was officially launched in 1986, both the XJ models were sold simultaneously until the Series III was phased out in 1992. This model featured the renowned Jaguar independent rear suspension setup and introduced modern technological advancements like the electronic instrument cluster.

The XJ40's success paved the way for subsequent models, with the heavily revised Jaguar XJ (X300) making its debut in 1994 and followed by the Jaguar XJ (X308) in 1997.
