The praise continues for Jaguar's latest foray into the luxury car sector with the XJ being described as both comfortable and sporty by one reviewer.

Writing for Car Magazine, Gavin Green commended the Jaguar for its looks, performance and comfort.

Individuals interested in exectutive car hire may wish to note that Mr Green also stated that the XJ's handling and ride quality make it the best in the luxury saloon market.

He draws attention to the fact that the Jag is 150kg lighter than any of its closest rivals - thanks to an innovative aluminium body - which means that the XJ is "deceptively agile" for its size.

He noted: "Great to drive and to sit in, here is a luxury saloon that mixes comfort and sportiness more successfully than ever before.

"And after living with one for a full day and night, I also think it looks fabulous."

Motorists will be able to choose from three engines, including the supercharged 5.0-litre V8.
