Daimler XJS Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1973–1977) — First Generation
Choosing a first-generation Daimler XJS Coupe means looking beyond the version name. Alongside your preferred powertrain, an individual car’s condition and maintenance history deserve close attention.
Among the Daimler XJS engine and transmission combinations are the gasoline 4.2 MT, 4.2 AT and 5.3 MT, each with rear-wheel drive. The manual versions give you control over gear selection, while the 4.2 AT handles shifts for you, making stop-start driving less demanding.
