The XJL Portfolio was Jaguar's version of the Range Rover Autobiography. In the US, at least, they initially were offered with the 5-liter V8 and RWD only, but a 3-liter V6 and AWD were added down the line. The XJL Portfolio saw a few significant changes, one being the interior leather switching to a Mercedesesque quilted trim in 2015. Other than that, it stood out as a distinctly British luxury offering and possessed a certain air of elegance the Mercedes-Benz S-class could only wish it had. Unlike the Range Rover Autobiography, I see the Portfolio's appeal. It's a big sedan, perfect for being chauffeured in, and it's a Jag, so it should be fun if you want to drive it yourself. Another favorite of the Royals until its untimely death in 2019.
