TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 BMW 7-Series has a deceivingly conservative wrapper for its radically reengineered underpinnings and tech-centric cabin.

The 2016 Jaguar XJ balances extravagant looks with dazzling big-car performance.

TCC Likes

A (relatively) lightweight big sedan
Spacious, isolated cabin
Responsive driving experience

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

TCC Dislikes

Only an evolutionary design
Overload of active/anticipatory systems
Even pricier than before

A few design details miss the mark
Rear head room
Brightwork overload inside
