2010 Jaguar XJ First Image And Video Released

Jaguar has released the first official image and video of its all new XJ. Sure it's not much to go on just yet, but it's a welcome change from, well, nothing.

The XJ is scheduled to debut on the 9th of July in London and will then go on sale later this year.

Aside from the panoramic glass roof, not much else can be gleaned from the image.  One thing is clear, though: the new XJ will be a radical rethink of the model and should tie in well with the XF.

Thankfully, Jaguar was nice enough to reveal a few details at the same time.

A selection of petrol and diesel engines will be on offer, ranging from a V6 diesel all the way up to a 380kW (510hp) supercharged V8.

The supercharged cat will not be the XJR, either, with Jaguar confirming it is saving the R designation for a hi-po version of the XJ it has planned for the future.

Standard and long wheel-base variants will be available, with both utilising Jaguar's new generation of aerospace-inspired aluminium body architecture.

Orders will be taken at the car's debut in July with deliveries expected to begin in early 2010.
