Description

Meanwhile, the rear-wheel-drive XJ Series sees only modest changes for the 2003 model year. The main change is that two limited-edition option groups have been added. The Sovereign Package, which is available for the standard-wheelbase XJ8, includes a 320-watt Alpine premium sound system, heated front and rear seats, a wood and leather steering wheel, and boxwood inlaid walnut veneers. The R1 Performance Package for the XJR consists of a Brembo braking system with four-pot calipers, cross-drilled rotors and stainless-steel-braided brake hoses, along with 18-inch BBS two-piece alloy wheels. The XJ8 and Vanden Plas sedans are fitted with all-season Michelin tires, which replace the previous Pirellis.
