British luxury, Jaguar XJ8L Royal extended version real shot

　　[New car real shot] When it comes to British cars, what is the first thing we think of? It should not be strong power, nor should it be fashionable appearance, but should be gentle temperament and comfort that can be described as luxury. This Guangzhou Auto Show brought us the top model in the FJ8 series – the 8L Royal Extended Edition.

● The shape…

　　When I first saw the Jaguar XJ8L Royal Extended Edition, I felt that it was not significantly different from the ordinary version of the XJ8, and the shape was almost the same. The design of the front of the car can be called a classic shape of Jaguar cars, and the design of the four-round lights is classical and not cliché. The middle net inherits the mesh middle net of the previous generation XJ8 sports version. The flat and wide front gives the overall feeling that this car has a low center of gravity and looks stable and generous.

　　Turning to the back of the car, we saw the difference between the Jaguar XJ8L Royal Extended Edition and the regular version. The 5216mm body gives the impression that the car is very slender. Of course, the Jaguar XJ8 series models now available in the Chinese market are all long versions.

　　Another difference between the Jaguar XJ8L Royal Extended Edition and other models is that it uses an all-aluminum model, which greatly reduces the weight of the body and also enhances the rigidity of the body. We can most intuitively feel that Jaguar has controlled the weight of such a large body at about 1.6 tons, which is really admirable! However, after a traffic accident, the maintenance cost of the aluminum body is also high.

"The shape of the rear design is a classic beauty that remains unchanged."

　　The temperament of a British car is reflected in every little detail. The Jaguar logo hanging on the side of the body’s cooling gills is exquisitely crafted, but it is slightly awkward to place here.

　　The Jaguar XJ8L Royal Home version uses 20-inch oversized wheels, and the tire model is 255/35 ZR20. Compared with this large wheel, the XJ8 looks very small.

● The interior –

　　Pull the door open, and we won’t associate this environment with a luxury sports car that can generate 300 horsepower, because the interior style of the XJ8 series emphasizes comfort, which also shows that it is not used for drag racing.

　　Selected precious walnut, elm, by experienced, skilled British technicians hand-polished, flawless high-grade calfskin by skilled artisans hand-cut, sewn.

　　Sitting in the carriage of the Jaguar XJ8L Royal Extended Edition, you will obviously feel the same warmth as returning home. The hour clock will tell you the time, the system will guide you, and the feel of mahogany and leather is everywhere… Maybe this is the luxury that the British pursue.
