Jaguar – other models: saloons, SUVs and estates from XJ to F-Pace registered under the van vehicle class, four- to twelve-cylinder engines from 2.0 to 6.0 litres
This page lists Jaguar passenger cars and SUVs that appear in the registration data under the vehicle class for vans, even though they are ordinary saloons, estates and SUVs such as the XJ, XJ6, XJ12, X-Type, XF Sportbrake, F-Pace and E-Pace; such classifications arise when a vehicle is registered with a corresponding conversion or use as a commercial vehicle. The Sportbrake suffix denotes the estate version of the XF, and XJ12 the twelve-cylinder saloon with a V12 engine.

The register lists 12 versions here with four- to twelve-cylinder engines from 96 to 177 kW and 1,990 to 5,993 cm³, kerb weights from 1,500 to 2,010 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,075 to 3,380 kg, lengths from 4,504 to 4,966 mm and widths from 1,660 to 2,088 mm.
The range from the classic twelve-cylinder XJ saloon to the compact E-Pace SUV reflects Jaguar's shift from a traditional British luxury maker to an SUV-led brand under Tata Motors, with the F-Pace as its best-selling model.
When buying used, older XJ models need checking for corrosion at the wings and sills and the condition of the air suspension, V12 engines need the cooling system and ignition checked, the XF and F-Pace need the timing chain and eight-speed automatic checked, and the E-Pace and F-Pace need the driver-assistance electronics checked. Parts run through the Jaguar dealer network and independent specialists in British cars.

What to check before buying

- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
