The Jaguar XJ X351, introduced for the 2010 model year, was a dramatic reinvention of the brand's flagship sedan. Penned by Ian Callum, its design abandoned decades of tradition in favor of a sleek, coupe-like silhouette, a panoramic glass roof, and a modern aluminum monocoque chassis. Powertrains ranged from a supercharged V6 to the formidable 5.0L supercharged V8 found in the high-performance XJR and XJR575 models.
Collectors appreciate the X351 as the last of the V8-powered XJ sedans, representing a high point for modern Jaguar performance and luxury. The supercharged V8 models are the most desirable, offering a compelling alternative to their German rivals with a unique character. Its blend of avant-garde styling and traditional Jaguar luxury makes it a standout model from the era.
With an average sale price just over $21,000, the X351 sits in an attractive part of its depreciation curve. Early, V8-powered cars are available for very reasonable prices, while the final-year XJR575 models command the highest values. Well-maintained examples, especially the supercharged variants, are likely to hold their value well as they transition into modern classic status.
Buying Tips
- Scrutinize the 5.0L V8's cooling system for leaks, as plastic pipes and water pumps are known failure points.
- On V8 models, listen for a distinct rattling sound on cold startup, which signals worn timing chain tensioners.
- Verify the air suspension system functions correctly; check for a level ride height and listen for an overactive compressor, which could indicate a leak.
- Test the infotainment system thoroughly. Early units are known to be slow, while the later InControl Touch Pro system (2016+) should be responsive.
- Check for water ingress in the trunk, often caused by failed taillight seals, which can damage electrical modules.
Prices range from around $3,000 for project cars to over $48,000 for top-spec, low-mileage XJR variants.
