Different platform, isn't it? Mine was 09 registered.
8 speed in the Ghibli. No idea what gear it's in, most of the time. Care less.
In manual, it's a bit different. Roundabout approach in 2nd is 'interesting'

Yes a different platform.
I do love the 8 speed box, previous XJ had the 6 speed, the stupid knob that rises slowly
Yeah, there was a lot of stuff that seemed to be looking for an excuse to break. The rotating air vents. Looked great, but really why?
The selector on the Ghibli was called out by Clarkson in his original review, I believe. And I get why. But after a while, it's no biggy

Now this looks much better value than the Ghibli. QP Trofeo that looks better and is 15k cheaper than the Ghibli and looks for more car for the money. 128k base price so probably more like 135k plus.....2022 car with a 35k saving on new before you start negotiating.

Lovely but you would need to negotiate very very hard and even then you will likely take a bath on it. Lovely looking thing though

Incorrect im afraid... All Jaguars from 2009 with the new XF and new gen XJ used the ZF 8 Speed box.Yes a different platform.

I am no expert so happy to be proved wrong, but #3 XJ 350 models I had did not have the 8 speed and I am certain the first 2010 XJ 351 model I had did not have it either (link below seems to confirm) my 2016 & 2019 one definitely did / have got it.
I can’t recall about the 2013 one.
Fact remains -the 8 speed is an amazing auto box

I've had a 2010 XF 3.0 D for 4 years now with the 6 speed ZF and can't fault it.
