All-new Jaguar XJ: Bowers & Wilkins teaser clip

Jaguar XJ

Jaguar had better have something really revolutionary ready for the Bowers & Wilkins audio system that’s set to be installed in the new Jaguar XJ because Matt Jones, Technical Specialist for Audio Systems at Jaguar claims that “nobody else has ever been able to do something like this in a car”, referring to the sound system’s ability to produce perfect sound no matter which seat you are seated in.

We don’t really get to see much of the car that we haven’t seen before in this video, but we do get to see one lone speaker set in a large area of wood panelling, so that pretty much assures us that the new XJ will be decked out in vast amounts of wood just like a Jaguar should.

Watch the teaser video after the jump!

    Huh…. B&W inside a car. This is superb.
    But, do not forget the upcoming Golf GTI – equipped with Mark Levinson.
    But I think for most manufacturers, they always equipped their premium model either with Bose or JBL set.

    pound for pound, i believe bose is already pretty upmarket equipment while Bang/Mark are really really luxurious audio equipments.

    most of us commonfolks gotta contend with pioneer and sony, and the occasional alpine. which isnt not too bad.

    bose is upmarket like mercedes, but it is not something for enthusiast.
    B&O is something like RR or bentley.

    B&O is for AUDI. Mark Levinson is for Lexus. Bose for everyone! Bower and Wilkins stays unknown.
