'07 Jaguar XK

Both the 2007 Jaguar XK coupe and the convertible have been completely redesigned from their predecessors, thanks to innovative styling and aluminum inspired body work. Although the 2007 XK is overall wider and longer than its predecessors, it also weighs about three hundred pounds less.

The 2007 Jaguar XK now has a hatchback model. Convertibles have a power driven soft top and the rear window is heated. Horsepower has gone up quite a lot as well: standard models have three hundred; super charged models have four hundred and twenty.

Both, however, keep a six speed automatic transmission, but now there are steering wheel paddles, which allow for manual operation. Standard features include an anti lock brake system, traction control, and a suspension system which adjust itself automatically. Also standard are front side air bags, a navigation system, cell phone linking, remote keyless entry and ignition, and xenon headlights.

'05 Jaguar XK

With the 2005 Jaguar XK, Jaguar has redesigned it to look like a true sports car. In addition to changing the grille, the wheels, and the tailpipe, the 2005 XK can come as either a coupe or a convertible, both with two choices of trim: XK8 and XKR.

Every 2005 Jaguar XK comes with a 4.2 liter V8 engine. In the XK8 models, that engine comes with two hundred and ninety four horsepower; in the XKR, the horsepower is three hundred and ninety; and both models are equipped with a six speed transmission.

Standard features include front side air bags, rear obstacle warning, traction controls with anti skidding capabilities, and an anti lock brakes system. XK models come standard with eighteen inch wheels but XK8s have the option for nineteen inches, while XKR have the option for twenty inch wheels. The XKR also comes standard with a navigational system and xenon headlights, which are options on the XK8.
