All New Jaguar XJ launched in London
All New Jaguar XJ has 8-inch dual-view touchscreen in center console which allows passenger watch TV or DVD at the same time as driver uses on-board navigation etc. I think more interesting new feature is 12.3 inch driver side virtual instrument cluster which replaces physical speedometer, rev counter, fuel and temperature gauges. Jaguar XJ is first automotive application of Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology.
