Is the Jaguar XJ-Series safe?

• 2015: 7/10

The XJ has not been rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That shouldn’t worry anyone, as this is a solid chunk of car. The adaptive cruise control can prime the brakes if it senses a potential collision, although the XJ does not automatically brake or issue alerts. Lane departure, night vision, pedestrian detection and other driving assists are not available like they are on other luxury sedans. Only blind-spot detection shows up on the XJ’s roster. Parking sensors and a backup camera are standard. All the usual airbags, whiplash-reducing headrests, and stability control are here.

For the safest used buy, the 2015 model posts the highest confirmed score of 7/10.
