There is no shortage of safety equipment, with an abundance of airbags, a traction control system and cruise control that reacts to vehicles in front of you slowing whenever necessary. It hasn’t been crash tested but that long bonnet must offer a big crumple zone in a collision. An alarm and immobiliser are standard.

If you consider the sheer roadspace it takes up, then it should rival an estate car and as such it’s sadly lacking, however furniture removal is not the point of the Jag. The tail may seem rather bulbous, but it houses a very large boot. It will swallow not only a couple of sets of golf clubs, but your caddy will fit in there too. Decent sized glove box as well.
