The current Jaguar XJR is 204.3″ long, 74.4″ wide, on a 122″ wheelbase, weighing 4,138 lb. Since 1995 it has grown 3% in length and gained -2% in weight. At 17 feet it fits a standard garage and overhangs a street parking space.
Every Jaguar XJR generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens for the Jaguar XJR, -77 lb of it since 1995, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1995–2003 | 197.6″ | 70.9″ | 52.8″ | 113″ | 4,215 lb |
| 2004–2007 | 200″ | 71.7″ | 57.1″ | 119.3″ | 3,948 lb |
| 2014–2015 | 204.3″ | 74.4″ | 57.1″ | 122″ | 4,138 lb |
From 1995 to today the XJR gained 6.7″ of length (3%) and -77 lb of weight (-2%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
XJR year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 14 years on record for the Jaguar XJR. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are the 3 new platforms below.

Will a XJR fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 17-foot Jaguar XJR it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the XJR clears the garage by 2 ft. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 17 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 17 ft | Overhangs — expect a tight squeeze |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.2 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 542 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 74.4″ | 75.2″ | -0.8″ |
| Wheelbase | 122″ | 117.7″ | +4.3″ |
| Curb weight | 4,138 lb | 4,359 lb | -221 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. At 4,138 lb the Jaguar XJR is 220 lb lighter than typical for its size, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 14 measured model years for the Jaguar XJR between 1995 and 2015.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Jaguar XJR fits into 3 rows instead of 14. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Jaguar XJR.
