The Jaguar XJ, available for Virginia Beach Jaguar drivers at Checkered Flag Jaguar, has consistently been one of Jaguar’s most impressive vehicles since its debut in 2010.

Out of almost 300 eligible vehicles, the Jaguar XJ has been chosen by Automobile magazine to be named as an All-Star for 2011.  With this latest recognition, which was given out at the North American International Motor Show in Detroit, the Jaguar XJ has now won more than 20 international accolades since its launch in 2010.

Automobile recognized the Jaguar XJ as a stand out “in both its design and its dynamics,” adding that “for the aesthete and the enthusiast, the all-new Jaguar XJ is an All-Star.”

A Jaguar vehicle has been named an All-Star by Automobile magazine for the past three years, with the Jaguar XF winning the honor in 2009 and 2010.

Other accolades earned by the Jaguar XJ in the past year: “Luxury Car of the Year” by Top Gear (UK), “Executive Sedan of the Year” by Bloomberg News (UK), “Best of What’s New” in Automotives by Popular Science and many more.

2011 Jaguar XJ at Top Virginia Beach Jaguar Dealer

Virginia Beach Jaguar drivers will love the “All-Star” XJ’s powerful, naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine, while the XJ Supercharged model includes a 470-horsepower supercharged version of that engine. In addition, the 2011 XJ combines high power with high efficiency in the AJ-V8 Gen III 5.0-liter V8 first introduced on the 2010 XF and XK models.

The 2011 XJ features a sleek design, highlighted by a powerful mesh grille and slim xenon headlights. The lower half of the car remains strong and muscular, while wrap-around windows give the XJ the impression of a “floating” roof.

Luxury defines the interior, with a leather-wrapped instrument panel and an analog clock on the center of the lower dashboard, uniquely inspired by luxury wristwatches.  In addition, all of the 2011 XJ’s controls – heat, air, audio, communication and navigation – are controlled by an 8-inch touch-screen display located in the center console, which can be activated using VoiceTM controls.

Safety features are built standard into the 2011 XJ, like anti-lock braking, dynamic stability control, cornering brake control, understeer control, electronic brakeforce distribution, electronic traction control and engine drag torque control, all of which help drivers maintain control of their Jaguar at all times, despite the weather and road conditions.
