2017 Jaguar XJ

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 XJ.

Body PASSENGER CAR

The 2017 Jaguar XJ is a full-size passenger car that, under its aluminum body and platform, requires 7.7 quarts of 0W-20 engine oil—a specification that aligns with modern efficiency-focused powertrains. With only two owner complaints on record, both targeting the electrical system, and three recalls, this model year stands as one of the quietest in the XJ’s reliability history, a stark contrast to the 53 complaints that marked the 2005 peak and even below the single-complaint low of 1995, suggesting a notably trouble-free ownership experience for its era.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Within the provided federal record, the XJ generation shows elevated complaints and recalls around 2011—when 18 complaints and 3 recalls were logged—followed by a clear downward trend in owner-reported issues in subsequent years. The 2017 model sits in this quieter mid-to-late generation arc: its federal footprint is limited to two complaint categories—Electrical System and Exterior Lighting/Electrical System—each with a single reported incident, alongside zero crash and zero fire complaints. Compared with the 2011 peak, 2017 demonstrates markedly lower owner-reported activity, and while the 2019 model year closes the generation with zero complaints and one recall, the data does not specify root causes for the minimal 2017 electrical entries. This positions 2017 as a relatively low-risk year in the generation’s federal history. For a buyer weighing reported federal defects against model-year maturity, the 2017 XJ appears to be a sound choice.
