Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition and Model 05 debut at the auto show
At this "11th Shanghai International Industrial Automobile Exhibition", the two most touching masterpieces of the Jaguar family are represented on the exhibition: the L Royal Extended Edition and the Jaguar 2005 S Model. As representatives of the Jaguar family, these two cars perfectly combine Jaguar’s precious temperament, pure British design and the latest technology. This year is the second time that Jaguar cars have come to China to participate in the auto show. In order to make the highly appreciative Chinese audience more deeply appreciate the unique charm of the Jaguar brand, we specially present the new Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition.
This auto show is the second appearance of the Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition after its official launch in China in March. The total length of the new Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition reaches 5,215mm and is 3,159mm long, making it the luxury sedan with the longest wheelbase in its class of high-end cars. Extra-long rear legroom of 999mm, unparalleled head space, handcrafted Burr walnut panels and flawless soft leather seats create an extremely delicate and luxurious interior environment. The foldable, push-pull Burr walnut business table board that opens from the back of the seat, and the independently controlled multimedia entertainment system provide maximum comfort and convenience for busy Chinese business elites who need to work in the car. The riveted and glued all-aluminum body structure using aerospace manufacturing technology maintains superior hardness and safety, and enhances handling flexibility. Its naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 engine is perfectly combined with the advanced ZF six-speed automatic transmission to provide a smooth and natural driving experience for drivers and passengers.

Also on display with the XJL Royal Extended is the Jaguar 2005 Model S, which has become the highest-selling and most popular Jaguar car since its introduction in China in August 2004. The appearance and performance of the Jaguar 2005 Model S fully demonstrate what the Jaguar brand stands for: a passionate racing pedigree, a combination of outstanding sporting characteristics and beautiful styling, with a unique personality and elegant and noble style. Few models have won as many awards as the new Jaguar 2005 Model S. These awards include: "Best Luxury Car to Buy" for 2003-2004; "British Car of the Year" by readers of the British magazine Auto Express; and "Most Beautiful Car of the Year" by viewers of the famous French TV station TF1.
Elegant and robust, the Model S is without a doubt the most distinctive sports car in its class. The Model S itself exudes a strong sense of luxury and Jaguar characteristics. In the Chinese market, the Jaguar 2005 Model S has a 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. In addition, it is equipped with an electronic parking brake system, which was originally used in advanced executive cars. It has now become standard on all Jaguar 2005 Model S cars.
Jaguar cars are all made from top-quality soft leather. During the production process, experienced tailors cut flawless leather pieces by hand to ensure that the leather used for each car interior comes from the same leather, without the use of any mechanical or laser cutting equipment. Afterwards, skilled seamstresses meticulously sew each piece of leather together. In the decoration workshop, the leather is manually configured into various parts of the car interior.
Jaguar’s high-quality Burr walnut veneers are sourced from the walnut tree base in the United States, with an average age of more than 75 years. Jaguar craftsmen attach these veneers to the front veneer and door in complete mirror symmetry. The veneers and sheet ornaments are mounted together on metal pads with staggered teeth and hot-glued. After painting, they are polished several times until each set of veneers matches the specific car. This shows that Jaguar cars not only represent innovative technology, but are also considered works of art for their peak handcraftsmanship and design. It believes that following the tried and famous footsteps of its predecessors, it will always be at the forefront of the contemporary automotive industry.
Since Jaguar Motor officially launched in China in March 2004, it has established a complete after-sales service network, enabling Chinese Jaguar owners to enjoy the distinguished experience brought by the Jaguar brand. By the end of 2005, Jaguar will establish 15 franchised dealers to provide Chinese consumers with more opportunities to own Jaguar and demonstrate its continuous pursuit of customer satisfaction.
The Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition and Jaguar 2005 S Model exhibited at the Shanghai International Motor Show reflect excellence, maturity and dignity, which is also the quality and style that the Jaguar brand hopes to bring to Chinese users.
