Hmmm....
So they took the XF's interior... and took the bottom half of the XK center stack and glue it together.

It's interesting. The center armrest seems a bit on the thick side. Almost CTS tackle box-ish.

It's definitely a big change!!!

That looks quite terrible.

Maybe this is not an actual production interior. I figure the new XJ will have the pop up shifter like the XF and similar navigation system, so maybe this is testing how these things will work out with the XJ. So later on they will come up with an XJ interior and implement the shifter since it is a new Jaguar trademark thing, and other Jaguar things such as the retractable vents.

Who cares?

No one buys these cars, not in the US anyway.

Kinda grainy. Disappointing from what is visible.

Dash looks like it came out of the new S80, and the center stack/console was dropped in from the XF.

 

[BrickTamland]

The center console looks really pinched. I mean look at it - either the floor console is really high or the dashboard is really low!

Both the XJ's exterior and interior need significant updating. I rode as a passenger in a friend's XJ-I like my friend a lot, so I'll forgive her for buying such a mediocre but expensive car-and it was so horribly underwhelming. Some designs work well through the ages; the Porsche 911's design really hasn't been changed significantly, but it always seems to work so well. The XJ, both from and interior and exterior perspective, just don't seem to work anymore.

Almost any design-including the one above-will be better than what the storied XJ has had to suffer with for the past decade or so.

So much for ergonomics. Those sit-and-spin, dial-a-gear knobs are silly, and a definite step backward in design. Even Jag's "J-gate" shifter would be better. Sorry to see this.

Yeah, but the XJ is on its own exclusive platform.
I guess the XF's styling theme will be the Jaguar theme from now on?

I'll need to see some better pictures, but this is a bit... un-interesting for an XJ.

 

[stevecmh]

looks nice.
i like the direction for the new Jags..

 

[GmFordFTW]

Is it just me or does the center instrument cluster sort of look like it was pulled out of an infiniti?

 

[GoldFish]

abit sportier than a Jaguar Limousine should feel like.

thats what i was talking about ... ever since i saw the XF, i always knew the elegant classy Jag will be replaced with the one with hand stitched imreza-like seats

 

[Bravada]

Kinda obvious it's a "mule" interior. they simply took the XF and inserted a centre stack. I must say the stack DOES look more Infiniti than Jag... I will wait till the final version...
