Prior to the official launch of the Jaguar XJ later today, photos of the new luxury saloon have leaked out on the internet. The new XJ takes quite a big step away from its predecessors and marks the first major design development since the original XJ way back in 1968.

We’ve published these leaked photos of the saloon which is set to stir some discussion amongst Jaguar enthusiasts. The new tail which abandons the classic design boasts an all new angle and is likely to cause the most controversy. Another striking design feature of the new XJ are the 2 glazed black C-pillars that hug the back of the car, helping the XJ look like nothing else on the road and highlight the chrome side window detailing (DLO) Once inside the car, passengers are greeted in a spectacular fasion with leather and wood alongside touch screen telematics and a 20-speaker Bowers & Wilkins stereo system.

So how does the vehicle drive? Well until the vehicle is road tested later this year speculations will continue, however tonights unveiling will no doubt focus on the XJ’s looks, especially that tail. So what do you think about design of the new XJ, love it or loathe it?
