New 2012 Jaguar XJ first full body prototype spy photos
Yet again, new spy shots have come out of the new 2012 Jaguar XJ. This time, we actually get a glimpse of the full body. Although heavily padded, we can see impressions of an elongated hood and potentially elegant rear styling on a four-door coupe.
The new version of the Jaguar XJ will be new parent company Tata Motors' first attempt at a full-size luxury. The XJ moniker itself is over 40 years old.
Body shape of the new XJ is expected to be totally different from the current generation. A likely cause is the poor sales figures of the current model. Previous reports, including one by WCF, cite the 2012 Jaguar XJ as a potential competitor to the Audi A7, Mercedes CLS-class, and Porsche Panamera.
Expected release of the new 2012 Jaguar XJ is Spring 2011.

What's with all the year + 1 nonsense too. If this is coming out in Spring 2010 then it's a 2010 model - simple.
Hope Tata don't make the same mistake!
Some years ago people underestimated Hyundai, but look at it now, the Genisis has made the mouths of the other up market sedan supporter's shut with superglue.
- a pronounced lift of the shoulderline as the it moves rearward, unlike the very flat shoulderline of many generations of XJ
- no rear quarterlight, unlike recent XJs
- a low nose without any of the highline fluted grills of recent
- faired in headlights, not individual bezels lights
- rakish rear window
- a high boot start line with a possible drop down to a lower trailing edge with what look so like signature XJ taillights
I doubt that will leap so far ahead they'll risk turning everyone off, but we can already see it is a world away from the current XJ and owes more to the CLS and Passat CC than it does to the S-Class or A8.
