2012 Jaguar XK

Thursday, January 26, 2012

Introducing all new jaguar in 2012,is Jaguar XK.The XK combines Jaguar's new modern design style with traditional luxury car touches like genuine wood and supple leather.
The basic XK begins with a 385-horsepower V-8 gained a hot guttural bark when Jaguar bumped its displacement from 4.2 to 5.0 liters in the 2010 model year. Like all the XK cars, it's coupled to a six-speed automatic, which shunts power to the rear wheels. On the XK coupe, Jaguar promises a 0-60 mph time of about 5.0 seconds, a tick or so more for the convertible.

Supercharging the XK turns it into an XKR first. The blown motor rips off 510 horsepower, pushing the 0-60 mph times down to 4.6 seconds for the coupe, again a bit more on the convertible version. Then there's the XKR-S, which opens up the exhaust for another 40 hp, for a total of 550 hp and a 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds, Jaguar says--as well as a top speed of 186 mph.

Inside the cabin, it's all about the luxury side, though. The front seats are almost shockingly spacious, while the rear seats are laughably small and the trunk teeny, especially on convertible models. Every XK has a touchscreen to control navigation, phone and audio systems, and the screens themselves need more processor horsepower--they lag, and aren't as responsive as the rest of the car. The order sheet offers choices of leather, wood and metallic trim, all with a common tonal sophistication. And convertibles have a power-folding top that doesn't look too bad when raised, and is thickly sealed to ensure quieter road trips in between stints of sunshine.
