Four Core Platform Generations
The XJ line debuted in 1968 and has spanned four basic platform generations, with major updates arriving in 1986, 2003 and 2009. Each generation introduced refreshed styling and technology while retaining the XJ’s flagship status.
Ford‑Era Redesign – The X300 Generation
Following Ford’s acquisition of Jaguar in 1989, the X300‑generation XJ (produced from 1994 to 1997) was launched as part of a $300 million investment, delivering a significant redesign that modernised the model’s appearance and engineering.
Production Heritage and Collectability of the X350/X358
Jaguar’s historic factory, which served as the home of all Jaguar production from 1951 until 1998, built the flagship XJ throughout its life from 1968 onward. The later X350/X358 models are now viewed as relatively rare, with enthusiasts noting concerns about the future collectability of hard‑to‑find mechanical components.
