==Year-to-year changes==
===1991===
At the beginning of the '90s, one of [[Jaguar]]'s 4-door [[sedan|sedans]], the [[Jaguar XJ6/XJ12/XJ8|XJ6]], was available as either a base, Sovereign, or Vanden Plas model.
===1992===
A limited-edition Majestic sedan was added for this year.
===1993===
The Majestic and Sovereign sedans were never seen again as of 1993.
===1994===
A new XJ12, introduced this year, was basically the same machine as the XJ6 Vanden Plas, but with a silky-smooth 313-hp V12 engine. It competed with the big [[BMW 7-Series|BMW 750iL]] and [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class|Mercedes S500 and S600]].
===1995===
The XJ sedans were restyled and re-engineered for 1995. They were made to look more like the traditional XJ sedans, with four round headlamps that flow into hood and fender bulges, a softer grille and body-color bumpers. Trapezoidal taillights evoked previous Jaguar sedans, too. The line has grown into a 4-model series.

Jaguar's first supercharged engine, a 322-hp version of the Six, powered the XJR model, giving it a 0-to-60 time of 6.7 seconds. It was distinguished by a body-color grille and leather sports seats. It competed with the BMW M5 and Mercedes E500.

The 6-cylinder XJ6 competed with the [[BMW 5-Series]], [[Lexus LS 400]], [[Infiniti Q45]] and [[Mercedes-Benz E-Class|Mercedes E320 and E420]], [[Cadillac Seville]] and [[Lincoln Continental]]. It was also available as the upgraded Vanden Plas, with a fancier interior, more luxury touches and chrome trim.

Both this car and XJ12 used a General Motors electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission in place of the German ZF automatic in the XJ6 and Vanden Plas. Of course, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes and dual airbags were included on every Jaguar sedan as well as impeccable race-bred handling, genuinely high performance and a traditional interior with all the wood and leather ambiance of a private Pall Mall men's club.
===1996===
This was the last model year for the XJ12.
===1997===
A new XJ6L was introduced for this model year, again for a limited time only before the XJ6 was completely dropped. However, the Vanden Plas survived to the next model year.
