Forbes.com recently released its list of the top 20 safest cars for 2007 and included on the list was Jaguar’s flagship sedan, the XJ. To compile the list, Forbes referenced numerous outside sources, including Consumer Reports, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Insurance Institute of Highway Safety and Highway Loss Data Institute.

The Jaguar XJ was included on the list due to its perfect rating in accident-avoidance capabilities by Consumer Reports and substantially better-than-average frequency of insurance injury-claim filings, according to HLDI.

The XJ is well-equipped with a number of standard safety features, such as advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Reverse Park Control and the Adaptive Restraint Technology System, which tailors airbag deployment to the needs of the driver and passenger based on the severity of the impact, occupant’s weight and seat position.

Some of the other vehicles included on the list were the Acura RDX, BMW Z4, Lexus SC and Porsche Boxster.
