Jaguar needs to revitalize its entire range, also the large XJ sedan, under its new India owners, TATA.

These spy shots of the concept were taken in Germany, and it’s very clear that the front is heavily modified.

The XJ keeps its traditional design since 1968.

Ian Callum, Jaguar’s chief of design, said that the reason of these changes is that the XJ is selling in considerably lower numbers than the XF.
