TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2015 BMW 7-Series is exceptionally quick and technologically advanced, but also very luxurious and wonderfully comfortable.

The 2015 Jaguar XJR is an interesting alternative to the usual German large sedans, mixing old world charm with fantastic handling and powertrains.

TCC Likes

Strong powertrains
Formal yet athletic appearance
Many chances to upgrade

A design like no other
Efficient supercharged V-6
Brash yet comfortable XJR performance model

TCC Dislikes

ActiveHybrid 7 should be smoother
Tech overload
Interiors without upgrades feel stark

A few design details miss the mark
Rear headroom
Brightwork overload inside
