Used Wheels: 2007-14 Jaguar XK, XKR - TheChronicleHerald.ca
History/description: Launched for 2007, this generation of Jaguar’s classy GT car was a coupe or convertible four-seater with standard V8 power, upscale design and feature content, and a lavish and luxurious cabin finished with top-line leather,... Feature content for the XK included a driver computer, Bluetooth, automatic xenon lights and automatic climate control, push-button engine start and motorized memory seats. The XK is an ideal used-ride choice for someone after a high-performance car with an eye for gorgeous looks, potent acceleration, and all-around comfort. All copies of the Jaguar XK got standard V8 power, rear drive and an automatic. From 2009 and on, a 5-litre V8 was standard, and a supercharged variant of this engine powered the high-performance XKR and XKR-S variants. Output of the newer XK was rated around 390 horses, or 510 horsepower with the supercharger in the XKR. The test drive: Start your test-drive looking for warning lights and messages in the XK’s instrument cluster, which could be the result of a poorly-charged battery. Low battery voltage can cause a world of issues in a car like the XK, many of which aren’t typically daily driven. Source: thechronicleherald.ca
