There's a blue one in Ride Along 2 - here's the clips :
and then another of an actual chase scene :
Also, not sure if it counts for your post, but I came across a great starring role for the XJL in a pop video by Briskeby, called
. This is well worth watching: I was fooled to thinking this was an action/horror movie when I first saw it.

As DeepPurple points out, moments after this capture point, the stunt driver misjudges the fast get-away and slams the LH rear wheel into a concrete gutter / kerb. One of the most painful moments of the movie to watch. :-(

My wife and I were totally crushed, no pun intended, when our 2012 XJ-L was "rear ended", and consequently written off as a total loss, back in 2016. In talking with the insurance adjuster, he mentioned that sometimes cars like ours, while too damaged to repair correctly, from an economic standpoint, get totaled, they sometimes get "straightened out" enough to be used as sacrificial cars, in movies' chase scenes.....

Yes I have seen an amazing amount of work done on totaled cars to put them back on the road. Especially in Russia and places like that where labor is cheap. As several have pointed out these Aluminum body cars are not like steel and if the structure is damaged then you won't have the crash protection of the undamaged body. So they will look OK with shiny new paint but they are not crash worthy anymore.
Not sure how true that is but it does make sense.

I know it's not an X351 XJ, but it's close - it's an XJS. It's worthy of being mentioned because it's the most unforgettable scene from any movie that ever featured a Jaguar automobile.
From the 1990 movie "Crazy People", starring Dudley Moore, Daryl Hannah, and Paul Reiser:
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0099316/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
In the above scene, Dudley Moore, the salesman, is explaining to Paul Reiser, the buyer, that this ad tells Jaguar owners to have their cars washed and polished by hand, preferably by a woman with a soft touch, in order to keep the paint like new.
I know it's an old movie, but good advice lasts forever.

a) Dudley Moore, legendary celeb. and it hurts to know he is gone
b) Correct attribution and linking to the source
c) Original synopsis and well crafted scene narrative
d) the model designate contained ‘XJ’
👍

Dudley Moore was much more than many people realized - a child prodigy and classically-trained pianist turned comedian, actor, jazz pianist and movie star. Quite a guy!

Fast forward to 17:38:

Oooooo . . . there are so many politically (and morally) incorrect issues here. But tell you what - merit points for;
a) Dudley Moore, legendary celeb. and it hurts to know he is gone
b) Correct attribution and linking to the source
c) Original synopsis and well crafted scene narrative
d) the model designate contained ‘XJ’

"Volvos - they're boxy, but they're good."
The entire reinvention of Volvo design can be traced back to that film quote.
