2018 Jaguar XJ
Fancy a Jag? The 2018 Jaguar XJ is your kind of kitty cat. It’s a beautiful sedan with the Jaguar heritage built into every facet on the outside. The oval chrome-mesh grille and traditional shape give it away. But on the inside, it’s unlike previous Jaguar generations.
The blue ambient LED lighting that’s available is spectacular. Diamond-stitched leather seating and a classy console are truly wonderful. And while the console and steering wheel are riddled with buttons, it’s fully equipped with all the tools you need for an awesome experience.
The XJ has a trick up its sleeve with its powerful engine. Unlike some other flagship models, it’s lighter and more nimble, making the drive extremely enjoyable. It has a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 with 470 horsepower tucked under the hood, but surprisingly, its 0-60 time is 4.7 seconds. That could use improvement, but the car itself is amazing.
2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo
Some might feel like the Panamera is a bastardized Porsche. To each their own, but the Porsche Panamera earns its way into the top luxury sedans of 2018 on merits. Stylistically, it’s individual. And performance-wise, it runs really strong.
The 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo with its stubby back end isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The silhouette takes some getting used to, but the Porsche front end is immediately familiar and loveable. It’s low-slung like you’d expect from a Porsche and handles like a rocket on rails.
Inside, your $150,000 gets you comfortable 14-way power adjustable seats, Bose Surround Sound with Connect Plus, smooth-finish leather, paddle shifters, and all the standard electrical components you demand at this price point.
Performance is precisely what you expect from Porsche, and the Panamera Turbo delivers. With 550 horsepower and all-wheel-drive, the Panamera Turbo races to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. Its top speed is 190 miles per hour, should the need arise in a luxury sedan.
