The Jaguar XJ (X351) is the latest Jaguar XJ luxury saloon from Jaguar Cars. Completely new styling combines with underpinnings based on the previous X350 version.

Jaguar Land Rover invited Jay Leno to unveil the new XJ during the launch at the Saatchi Gallery in London on 9 July 2009. The unveiling was broadcast live on the Jaguar website. US model was unveiled in 2009 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

Production of the car was due to begin in September 2009, with first deliveries being made in early 2010. However, the sale was delayed to December.

On 11 May 2010, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom took delivery of a long-wheelbase, armoured, dark grey XJ as the official state car of the United Kingdom.

The XJ was designed at Jaguar Land Rover's Whitley plant in Coventry, by a team led by design director Ian Callum. The new design is a complete break from any earlier XJ although mechanically the car is a development of the previous version.
