2010 Jaguar XJ: Jaguar releases first teaser image, video and details

Jaguar today launched the 2010 Jaguar XJ minisite and released a new teaser for its upcoming model. The site features a countdown clock, which is counting down to July 9, and the first teaser image of many to come (yes, we’re having nightmares of another 2010 Ford Mustang type launch with a new teaser image every week).

Either way, Jaguar said that the next-generation Jaguar XJ features an aerospace-inspired aluminum body architecture and will be available in a choice of standard or long-wheelbase models.

The 2010 XJ lineup will feature a naturally aspirated 380-hp V6 and Jaguar/Land Rover’s new 510-hp supercharged V8 engine. The powertrain lineup will also have an option of the 275-hp AJ-V6D diesel that was recently seen in the Jaguar XF Diesel S.

Pricing details will be announced in July with production to take place later this year. The first deliveries will take place in early 2010. You can visit the Jaguar XJ minisite by clicking here.
