Jaguar X300

The Jaguar X300 is the generation of the Jaguar XJ, a full-size luxury saloon car manufactured by Jaguar Cars between 1994 and 1997. It was the first Jaguar XJ produced entirely under Ford Motor Company ownership and can be considered an evolution of the outgoing XJ40 generation, keeping the Jaguar independent rear suspension and placing emphasis on improved build quality, improved reliability and a return to traditional Jaguar styling. At its launch in October 1994 at the Paris Motor Show Jaguar's marketing called it the New Series XJ, and it represented the result of a 200 million pound facilities renewal program by Ford that introduced automated body welding robots built by Nissan. Jaguar's V12 engine and the AJ6 inline-six, redesignated AJ16, were both available with distributorless electronic engine management, and the X300 went on to become one of Jaguar's most successful models.
