Default How Many Jaguar References In The Cockpit?

It's evident that JLR wants us to know we are driving a Jaguar. That said, if you are driving at or over 72 mph (first hint) with the dash vents in the upright position (second hint) how many Jaguar references would you see?

BTW, you should answer before you go out to the car

(A) 4
(B) 7
(C) 9
(D) 11

The definitions of references is, the written word Jaguar, as well as the Leaper.

Not as many as the number of "Z"'s present in the Nissan 350Z (or now 370)

Does it count if it's upside down and backwards? (and it's just 70, not 72...)

Not that it really matters, but... from the 2016 manual... I know I can have the spoiler up without speeding on a few roads here in TX...

"Automatic spoiler operation (Coupe only)
The DRS will automatically deploy when the
vehicle reaches a speed of 70 mph (113 km/h)."

Very possible I missed one. A few were too small to read...

I believe the answer the OP had concluded was 9. But you missed 6 rather obvious ones... I'm up to 15, and I counted in the dark. I bet I can come up with more at daybreak. In fact I know I can add two more for a total of 17, and if Growlers count as references, I'm up to 19.

No way! I counted 9 on a two hour ride and can't imagine a total of 17, let alone 19?

Personally, I'm unable to see the hub covers (are they hub caps?) while I'm driving, but I have a short neck.

clue me in-I have a 2016


I see only the leaper on the steering wheel and the one in the mirror with the jag name as well (does that count as 2?)


once the engine is on the one in the info screen and dash pod disappear. Couldn't find one on the vents maybe I need to put on my reading specs? There are a few r's but they don't count

Doh! I counted the Jaguar or leaper on the spoiler, but not both. I'll have to look at my windows now.


Yes, reading glasses may be required to read 'Jaguar' on the vents.


Fun game, Tahoe Dave!

Thank you Foosh, a much better list... everybody else is missing the tempered logos on the glass. On the Coupe there are 6 windows/6 Jaguars. the Panoramic Roof also has one, but it is not visible from inside the car.
I am now up to 30 and still counting

the OP's original 9...
4 Jaguars on 4 HVAC vent sliders
1 leaper on center steering wheel
1 Jaguar at top of dash display
1 Jaguar at top of center Navigation Screen display
1 Jaguar on spoiler (up in maintenance mode while parked)
1 Leaper on spoiler (up in maintenance mode while parked)

PLUS...
6 Jaguars embossed on each window (4 on vert)
2 Jaguars on floor mats
2 Jaguars on wheel caps (viewed when parked adjacent to plate glass window)
2 Growlers on wheel caps (viewed when parked adjacent to plate glass window)
Late Add:
2 Jaguars on Seatbelt labels where end of each belt is tethered to floorboard.
2 Leapers on Seatbelt labels where end of each belt is tethered to floorboard.

1 Jaguar on branded USB dongle inserted into USB port in console (optional)
1 Leaper on branded USB dongle inserted into USB port in console (optional)
1 Jaguar on key fob (left on console instead of in pocket)
(2 if I hold the key fob up to the rear view mirror)

1 Jaguar on grille badge (visible as reflected off some other vehicle or object in front)
1 Growler on grille badge (visible as reflected off some other vehicle or object in front)

Foosh, I know you knew this one on your list is an either/or thing, not both visible at the same time.
"1 leaper on center screen if selected as a screen saver in lieu of having menu up" If the Screen Saver is up, the Jaguar at the top of the normal menu is not.

Wait, need to go open the glove box...

If you're wearing your Jaguar contact lenses, you'll see a leaper on everything you look at.
