Captains of industry who fancy a spell behind the wheel could do worse than buy a Jaguar XJ. Some of its rivals are best enjoyed from the rear seats, not the XJ though. It’s not just good to drive, it’s great.

It rides superbly, too, at least on the smaller wheels. Larger ones give a firmer, slightly bumpier ride.

Inside is a leather-clad space bristling with equipment and even the entry-level Luxury trim wants for little. The digital dashboard is very high-tech and the screen uses Jaguar’s latest software.

In the back it's bright and airy thanks to the standard-fit panoramic glass roof. There’s plenty of space, although if you want more there’s always the long wheelbase version, which has a little more rear headroom, too.

The XJ drops points with its boot which isn’t quite as large as rivals’. It’s shallow and awkwardly shaped, so you need to pack it carefully.
