The Truth About Cars have published a review of the 2011 Jaguar XF Supercharged. 'With a base MSRP of $67,150, the XF Supercharged fits between the lower trim and performance XFs and the 510 HP XFR, priced exactly $12,000 more. No Jaguar can be a Q-car, but compared to the XFR the XF Supercharged is definitely a sleeper. For that extra 12 large you get an additional 40 horsepower out of the supercharged version of Jaguar's new 5.0L DOHC V8, a more aggressive body kit, a different hood (bonnet) and a wire mesh grille. That's just about it. The XF Supercharged is much more subtle than the XFR. To all but the most discerning Jaguar enthusiast, it's a plain vanilla XF but the XF Supercharged has all of the XFR's chassis upgrades, including bigger brakes, upgraded shocks and springs and Jaguars superb Active Differential Control, which uses an electric motor built into the rear end to control wheel slip. Oh, and an additional 85 horsepower over the base XF.'

A review of the 2010 Jaguar XJ Diesel has been posted over at Car Advice. 'The front end features enough chrome to last Jaguar a life time. If left to the untrained, it could have turned out a disaster. But on the new XJ, it gives the car an elegant look that screams attention as it approaches in your rear view mirror. The sleekly sculpted headlights feature LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) that exude a newly found persona on the road. It continues on the bonnet and along the side, where attention to detail is barely missed right through to the rear end. In a take it or leave it gesture, the rear end breaks from the norm of anything Jaguar have offered their buyers before. The vertically wrapped tail lights are long and clad with LED lights that leave an awesome lighting array in their path at night.'

The Montreal Gazette have published a review of the 2011 Jaguar XKR 175. 'The Jaguar XKR Coupe is beautiful and stunningly elegant in its design form - perhaps even more so than its Convertible counterpart - but I still prefer open-air motoring to closed-car cruising. That having been said, this review is about the XKR Coupe in all its glory and particularly the Special Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Jaguar XKR 175. Only 175 will be produced for the U.S. market, with 15 units built for Canada. The European market will commemorate the iconic marque's 75th Anniversary, with only 75 cars to be built.'

Inside Line have published their "First drive" review of the 2011 Jaguar XJ 5.0L SC. 'The new 2011 Jaguar XJ is now in large measure a new-generation all-aluminum unibody, much like the former XJ in its architecture yet now built more like an aluminum structure and less like a steel body simply executed in aluminum. To ensure a crisp steering feel, the front subframe is not isolated and the front shock towers are reinforced. Continuously variable damping as standard equipment keeps the ride supple, yet the combination of XF suspension, wider front and rear tracks, plus larger-diameter tires (20-inchers are optional) provides lots of cornering grip.'

SearchChicago have published their review of the 2010 Jaguar XFR. 'The 2010 Jaguar XFR is the highly touted extension to the popular XF series. The XFR is a sedan that reflects a coupe profile. That is just one of two remarkable characteristics of the XFR - the other is, of course, the power plant. At its core, the XFR is a sports car. Refined and luxurious, this five-passenger sedan performs like a sports coupe. The new performance-oriented XFR comes complete with new front-end styling featuring revised chrome air intakes, supercharged hood louvers, four polished exhaust outlets, an aerodynamically functional rear deck lid spoiler lip, extended side sills and subtle R badging.'

The Garage Blog have published a review of the Jaguar XK. 'For 2010, the XK's styling received a massage-not there was anything wrong with its looks before. The XK, in its present form looks current, but there is a certain timeless quality seen here. You just know that fifty years down the road, the XK will still look as handsome as it does today. Long and low, the Jaguar cuts a profile rarely seen in cars today, which makes the car stand out in a crowd. Understated and elegant, the XK looks great from any angle, top up or down. I found the standard 19″ wheels attractive, but not sporty. Fortunately, Jaguar offers optional 19″ and 20″ wheels that look more sporty and aggressive.'

CNET have published their review of the 2010 Jaguar XFR sedan. 'The Jaguar's powerful engine and tight transmission make up only part of the R model equation. Like the new XKR, the XFR gets high-tech suspension gear that significantly aids the driver when cornering. What Jaguar calls Adaptive Dynamics and Active Differential Control come into play when you push the checkered flag button on the console. In fact, the XFR is boring until you press that button, so we recommend just leaving the suspension in dynamic mode.'

The Indendent have published their "test driven" review of the Jaguar XJ saloon. 'Seen in its natural habitat, the XJ is truly dramatic. It looks assertive, confident and quite unlike any rival, especially a sober-suited German one. The drama continues inside, helped by the light from the glass roof and the sort of sumptuous materials you would find in a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. Now see the instruments, high-resolution images on a screen rather than the chrome-and-glass dials they appear to be. Then there's the central screen with its two layers of differently-oriented pixels, so the driver can see the usual information while the front passenger simultaneously watches TV or a DVD.'

Trusted Reviews have published a "test driven" review of the new Jaguar XJ. 'The new XJ will be available with three engine variants, but there's little doubt the the 3.0-litre V6 diesel will be the biggest seller in the UK. This is the same engine that was in the Jaguar XF that I reviewed last year and it's an absolute gem. Despite only pumping out 184g/km CO2, the diesel lump pumps out 271bhp and 442lb/ft of torque. That makes the diesel powered XJ good for a 0-60mph sprint of six seconds, which is no mean feat for a car this size.'

Inside Line have published their "First Drive" review of the 2011 Jaguar XJ 5.0L V8 Portfolio. 'It's obvious that this new XJ is different from the moment you see it, because the 2011 Jaguar XJ is the first XJ to not resemble the landmark Series 1 XJ of 1968. From its thrusting latticed grille to the tapering rake of its coupelike rear windshield, this Jaguar looks sleekly, futuristically and arrestingly different. Your eyes might be momentarily drawn to the oddly upright grille, or maybe the long, shallow greenhouse that lends this car a massively different visual character compared to a traditional sedan, or perhaps the gloss-black rearmost pillar of the roof or the rakish rear taillights, but whatever it is, you won't be confusing this car with the previous-generation XJ that came to us in 2003.'
