  You can simply understand the XJ Sentinel as a bulletproof version of the XJ. This model is actually not uncommon. There are such models, and it is still very rare for Jaguar to launch bulletproof models. With the help of Kevlar fiber, the XJ Sentinel’s safety has reached B7, which means that its car can withstand military-standard small arms and grenades and other weapons.

  Of course, the weight of such a sturdy car is also very considerable. It is reported that the weight of the XJ Sentinel has reached 3300kg, which is 1426kg more than the standard version of the XJL. The original 5.0-liter V8 engine has not changed, it is still 283kw and 515N.m, so it takes 9.7 seconds to accelerate such a heavy XJ Sentinel 100 kilometers, and the top speed is only 195km/h.
