The XJ has a fresh, modern design, including the drop-dead beautiful roofline, with runway-model sensibilities as well as sail-away rear pillar right from its stamped grille to the bugle-beaded LED tail lamps.
The styling of the rear is polarizing; its tucked-in look may seem under styled or amusingly different.
The car features newly designed lightweight forged alloy wheels, as well as soft closing door technology to ensure that the doors are securely closed with the minimum exertion and unnecessary noise.

The long-wheelbase variant is equipped with the aircraft-inspired rear seating that recline, not to mention the 3 massage programs – Rolling/Wave, Shoulder and Lumbar, and other adjustments.
Also, there is a armrest located in the rear that can be stowed in an upright position to enable the use of a center seat, it houses seat controls and a Front Seat Activation button that controls the front seats from the rear.
