NEXT VERSION OF XJ SEDAN WILL FEATURE ADVANCED ALUMINUM-INTENSIVE BODY STRUCTURE

In an effort to reduce fuel-consuming weight and to look cutting edge, Jaguar will take a big step in the use of aluminum with the introduction of its next version of the XJ sedan. When it arrives next year, the luxury XJ sedan will have "an advanced aluminum-intensive body structure," said Jonathan Browning, the company's managing director, at the auto show here. Aluminum is used in a number of places on most cars in the world today, but in limited quantities in things like suspension bits and engine parts.
