The quickest Jaguar XJ on record is the 2014 Jaguar XJ XJR LWB, which runs 0–60 mph in 3.7 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.10 seconds at 117.4 mph.
The slowest recorded Jaguar XJ is the 1972 Jaguar XJ XJ6 4.2, which takes 11.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 17.90 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 50 verified runs, a Jaguar XJ reaches 60 mph in 6.05 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 14.28 seconds at roughly 101.6 mph.
We have verified test data for 19 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Jaguar XJ can do, not a single marketing claim.
