The Jaguar you always dreamed about is closer than you think thanks to a locally based motoring company.

The new XJ Long Wheelbase (LWB) will be available for purchase this autumn from Plympton based Riders Jaguar Plymouth, and if you can’t make it to the showroom they will even drive the car to your doorstep.

Jaguars new flagship salon the XJ Long Wheelbase not only provides greater room for rear-seat passengers but also offers a choice of seating configurations, new trim and specification options and a variety of communications and multi-media equipment packages including iPod, MP3 player and DVD connectivity.

The advantages of the new XJ Long Wheelbase do not compromise the excellent dynamic abilities and performance of the standard wheelbase car. Weighing just 24kg more than the standard wheelbase model, the XJ Long Wheelbase posts fuel economy, emissions and performance figures equivalent to the standard wheelbase models.

Combined with the agility and driving dynamics for which the new XJ saloon is already renowned, this makes the new long wheelbase Jaguar as impressive from the driver‘s seat as it is from the rear passenger seat.

“The new XJ Long Wheelbase isn‘t a stretched version of the standard car – it‘s a fully integrated model in its own. That‘s one of the main reasons the driving experience is so close to the other models in the XJ range, and why owners will enjoy being at the wheel as much as sitting in the rear seat.“ says Mick Mohan, Chief Programme Engineer, XJ

Like the latest generation of the standard wheelbase XJ, the new XJ Long Wheelbase shares all the advantages of advanced aluminum construction, including light weight, and significantly improved body strength, comprehensive safety features, refined performance, superb driving dynamics.

Depending on specification and customer preference, there is a choice of four optional rear-seat configurations, including fixed or power-adjustable bench layouts and individual powered and heated rear seats separated by a centre console with additional storage space.

Burr walnut-finished Business Trays that fold down from the front seat-backs – and are big enough to hold a notebook computer – maximise comfort and convenience for passengers who need to work in the car.

The XJ saloon‘s elegant lines are enhanced by the increased length - the subtle increase in roof height ensures that the visual profile remains pure XJ.

Despite the increase in length, the new XJ Long Wheelbase remains compact enough to fit into a normal-size garage, and can easily cope with the tight spaces of multi-storey car parks.

The new XJ Long Wheelbase offers a range of safety features including dual-stage driver and passenger airbags; rear side air curtains, anti-whiplash seat design and ISOFIX rear child seat attachments.

This new XJ Long Wheelbase offers additional space, luxury and convenience without compromising style, driving pleasure or ownership costs.
