Performance

If performance is one of your main considerations, the 2019 Jaguar XJL may be a better option. This car comes with two engine options: the base 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 and a 5.0-liter supercharged V-8. Its standard engine, which is rated at 340 horsepower, is slightly more potent than the Audi A8's 335-horsepower base engine. Even if you opt for a V-8 engine, you will get more power from the Jaguar. Its V-8 generates a whopping 470 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque, while the Audi's twin-turbo V-8 makes 453 horsepower and 444 pound-feet of torque.
Despite being the long-wheelbase version of the Jaguar XJ, the XJL is 1.8 inches shorter than the Audi A8. As such, you will have an easier time maneuvering and parking it in tight quarters. Its shorter length makes it a better car for driving in a crowded urban area.
Luxury & Convenience
Whether you choose the 2019 Jaguar XJL or the 2019 Audi A8, you will have a car that is loaded with premium features. Nonetheless, the Jaguar may have a slight advantage in this department with a few features that are unavailable in its rival.
If you live in an area with freezing temperatures during winter, you will appreciate the XJL's standard remote starting system. This system allows you to start the car from inside your home so that you can warm up the engine and cabin before you step outside. Additionally, the car comes standard with a heated steering wheel to make driving in the winter more comfortable. The A8 also offers a heated steering wheel only as an option.
Another useful feature you will find in the Jaguar is the available Park Assist technology, which enables the car to perform parallel or reverse parking by itself. You only need to control your speed with the brake pedal.
Warranty
As the owner of a 2019 Jaguar XJL, you will receive a 5-year or 60,000-mile basic warranty that covers all the components of the car and includes roadside assistance. The Audi A8's basic warranty only lasts for 4 years or 50,000 miles. In addition, the XJL comes with complimentary maintenance for 5 years or 60,000 miles, which covers lubrication, oil changes, and all other required maintenance tasks. The A8, on the other hand, only offers free maintenance on the first visit.
With its outstanding performance, advanced features, and one of the best warranty plans in its class, the 2019 Jaguar XJL provides great value for your money. If you want to know if this car can meet your expectations, feel free to stop by Hennessy Jaguar Atlanta for a test drive.
