Facelifts galore of late – our peeping Toms from the Continent have also sighted the facelifted Jaguar XJ. The X351 hasn’t changed its clothes much in its four years of existence, and looking at these spyshots, it seems it’s not about to break that tradition.
But that front and rear camouflage is not there for no reason. We can see a new front bumper design with restyled ‘blades’ that sit within enlarged intakes, and the rear bumper seems to be different – are those oval tailpipes, for a start?
Reports speculate some changes in the cabin of the big cat, but expect the powertrain menu to keep calm and carry on. The car’s expected to surface next year; more details should emerge as time goes by.
Since it began production in 2010, the X351 Jaguar XJ has gone through revisions in 2011, 2012 and 2014, concerning the areas of equipment, powertrain and interior. This would be the first time it’ll look different, but anything beyond a minor makeover would surprise us, truth be told.
Check out our review of the 2.0 Ti-engined Jaguar XJ here.
UPDATE: New spyshots added – see both the facelift and current model, side-by-side.

These new generation of Jags, from the 2008 XF, the 2010 XJ and the new F Type are very timeless, and very classy. Even though after quite a number of years, they don’t look very dated at all.
maybe its time for you to meet optometrist
the XF even the 2012 facelift looks dated as hell whats more the 2008. the current XJ will be dated soon too as new a8,s class,and 7 series roll out
i hope for their own sake they better give XJ some big time facelift
Go and see the last generation A6 and W211 E Class. Then tell me, which looks older.
Honestly XF looks older
Whilst looks are always subjective, IMHO the XJ is timeless.
Perhaps Mercs and Beemers are just too common a sight on our roads cuz only when an XJ zooms by on the fast lane, it elicit’s a grunt of manly approval!
Cheers :)
Very ugley cars, no matter new models, makeovers or facelifts all are ugley.
Jaguar should sack those lazy designers. The designs are totally outdated.
there’s something about British design that shows some elegance and timeless..don’t need to be too sharp like Lexus or Audi, just a classy timeless looks paired with latest technology.thats good enough for me
Some people don’t understand the beauty of timeless design. I don’t think car design should change that often if not much change is given to the engine.
Bad move by TATA.. Jaguar has lost his Identity due to aggressive move. Due to that, TATA has make little move on Ranger Rover & it paid off..
I totally get the timeless elegance description and the Brits bits too : )
