The ‘Sovereign’ represented the highest luxury specification for Jaguar models, sitting next to the XJR.

Sovereigns featured more elaborate and expensive wood veneer, commonly highly figured burr walnut, with window control and ashtray trim panels also in veneer as opposed to plastic in other models.

The leather was also of a higher quality and often features contrasting piping, with seats being of the traditional fluted style.

The suspension set-up was biased towards touring and the wheels were normally 16" or 17" to provide high profile tyres for additional ride quality.

Externally, a Sovereign can be distinguished by the complete use of highly polished steel/chrome work around windows and rear light clusters, as well as polished radiator grille and boot garnish.

The cars are simply badged as ‘Sovereign’ with no mention of ‘XJ’.
