With two engines on offer for the standard XJ range, performance can vary quite a bit, but it never disappoints. The base 340-hp V6 is standard on the R-Sport, Portfolio, and XJ50 trims, and is the only engine that can be paired with an all-wheel drivetrain. In its standard guise, this powertrain can perform the 0 to 60 mph sprint in a modest 5.7 seconds, which is only marginally slower than rivals like the Merc S-Class and Audi A8. Opting for all-wheel-drive surprisingly adds half a second to this time, at 6.1 seconds. The stronger V8 that comes with the Supercharged trims and is available on the XJ50, uses its 470 hp and 424 lb-ft to launch the hefty sedan past the 60 mph benchmark in just 4.9 seconds, which is almost a full second slower than the V8-powered S-Class. The engine's top speed of 155 mph is also a bit shy of rivals' limits, with the Audi A8 capable of reaching 166 mph in its strongest guise. However, there's also a 575-hp V8 reserved for the range-topping Jaguar XJR575, reviewed separately.2019 XJ Performance Photos

Equipped as standard on the entry-level R-Sport, as well as the Portfolio and standard XJ50, a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 directs 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, although all-wheel-drive is available. While nowhere near as strong as the other engines available, the V6 still provides plenty of power, accelerating the bulky two-ton sedan with ease. Merging and passing present no challenges here. But, if 340 hp isn't enough for you, the Supercharged trims present drivers with a 5.0-liter V8 that develops 470 hp and 424 lb-ft solely for the rear wheels to deal with. With this much power on hand, the Jag accelerates like a car half its size, making merging and passing on the highway as easy as can be. This engine is also available on the XJ50, providing an aptly sized motor to match the half-century celebration model. Regardless of engine and drivetrain configuration, an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission rows the gears on every Jaguar XJ model, shifting seamlessly and managing the hefty dose of torque incredibly well.2019 Jaguar XJ Performance Specs
