Graceful beauty

IT may be seven years old and longer in the tooth than the competition but the Jaguar XJ still looks fresh. Maybe it's the radical fastback styling or perhaps a secret anti-ageing cream/wax. But the British carmaker's flagship limousine has remained surprisingly youthful, and a mild facelift has resulted in subtle differences only.

In front, there is a more upright grille and full LED headlamps that sport the "Double J" daytime running light design. The LED tail lights are updated too.

Inside, the changes are slightly more significant.
