Jaguar Land Rover India has announced the start of sale of the Jaguar XJ50, a special edition model designed to commemorate and celebrate half a century of performance, technology and luxury for its flagship model. “For five decades, the Jaguar XJ globally has been the choice of business leaders, celebrities, politicians and royalty, the XJ50 is a fitting tribute to the enduring style and performance of Jaguar’s luxury saloon”, says an official JLR press release.

The new special edition is available in the long wheelbase version with the 3.0-litre, diesel powertrain which generates 225 kW of peak power. The exterior updates for the XJ50 include Autobiography-style front and rear bumpers. These mark the anniversary edition out alongside purposeful new 48.2-cm (19-inch) wheels, a chrome radiator grille with chrome surround and unique badging to the rear and side vents, while the striking colour palette includes Fuji White, Santorini Black, Loire Blue and Rosello Red.

The official JLR statement added that inside the cabin, luxurious features include soft-grain diamond-quilted seats with an embossed leaper (Jaguar logo) on the headrests and an XJ50 logo on the centre armrest. Unique intaglio branding and XJ50-badged illuminated treadplates also differentiate the anniversary edition. Also on offer are anodised gearshift paddles on the steering wheel and bright metal pedals.
