The XJ of this genre is designated by Jaguar as the XJ40, and pioneered significant improvements to how Jaguar cars were designed, built, and assembled. Among these improvements was a 25 per cent reduction in the number of bodywork panels required per car resulting in not only a more efficient assembly process, but also a weight saving and a stiffer structure. Greater attention to panel gaps improved the drag factor while also improving the fuel economy and lowering wind noise inside the cabin.
The automatic transmission selector was redesigned to allow the manual selection of forward gears without accidentally selecting neutral or reverse. This new feature was dubbed the "J-Gate" and remained a staple of all Jaguar models up until the 2008Jaguar XF.
The Sovereign model came equipped with significantly more features than the base XJ6. Included was air conditioning, headlamp washers, a six-speaker sound system, rear self-levelling suspensio, anti-lock braking system, and inlaid burl rosewood wood trim). The headlamps fitted were the rectangular single units. The window frames were made from stainless steel.
