With an XJ40 replacement still years away, Jaguar urgently needed to revamp the XJ range and took on a rather retro look which proved popular in the important German and American markets. The X300 was based on the XJ 81 chassis designed by Geoff Lawson and was launched in 1995. The centre section was shared with the Mark 2 (XJ40/XJ81) while the traditional fluted bonnet and four head lamps were revived. The front and rear wings, bumpers and bot lid were also redesigned. The 3.2 and 4.0 AJ6 engines remained but were mildly revised to achieve a boost in power and refinement
The X300 series was available in several trim levels.
The XJ6 formed the base model featuring either the 3.2 or 4 litre engines aluminium alloy wheels, leather upholstery, and air conditioning were all extra-cost options.
The Sovereign model also used the AJ16 engine (in either 3.2 L or 4.0 L form), and came equipped with luxury features as standard The exterior of the Sovereign was adorned with chromed trim in various locations: on the radiator grille, rear light cluster surrounds, windscreen and rear window surrounds, rain gutters, window frames, and boot-lid plinth.
The AJ Sport was aimed at younger drivers, with wider 8-inch wheels, revised seats, and stiffer suspension. The Sport kept the matte-black window surrounds from the base model, and is identified by Sport badges on the B-pillars and XJ Sport; badging on the rear. The sports suspension (along with the wider wheels) were also available as an option on other models
The Executive model was introduced for the 1997 model year and featured leather trim, a wood/leather steering wheel, wide wheels (similar to the Sport model), and air conditioning.
The X330 LWB (Long Wheelbase) introduced in 1995 as a long wheelbase version of the body shell adding 6 inches for rear seat occupants and an extra inch of headroom. This body style was available for all of the classic models (XJ, Sovereign, XJ12) but not the sport models (XJ Sport, XJR). There were two X330 variants, one with five seats and one with four, which featured a raised centre console between the two adjustable rear seats. Internally, Jaguar referred to the long wheel base version as the X330 Majestic
The XJR (X308) introduced as a high-performance sport model, and it was Jaguar's first-ever supercharged road car (and only the second Jaguar road car to use forced induction, after the turbocharged Jaguar XJ220.) The output of the six-cylinder AJ16 engine was increased to 326 bhp with the use of an Eaton M90 supercharger and an air-water intercooler
