Summary
Brilliant to drive with style, poise and class. The XK puts Jaguar back at the top of the luxury coupe segment.
Styling
Handsome, distinctive and classy - although the front end looks a bit contrived with its E-Type inspired radiator grille.
Handling
Despite initially light-feeling steering the XK drives brilliantly, with loads of grip and flat, drama-free cornering.
Comfort
Outstanding suspension allows the XK to combine sporty handling with impressive ride quality. High speed stability is excellent, and refinement is very good at all speeds.
Quality
Generally good, although a few areas of the cabin feels relatively low-rent compared to some rivals.
Performance
The 4.2 litre V8 makes some lovely sounds and gives decent urge, but 295 bhp isnt very much by segment standards these days - real thrill-seekers will have to wait for the XKR.
Roominess
Front seat occupants enjoy plenty of space, although the rear pews arent up for more than very occasional use. The boot is big and easily accessed through the rear tailgate.
Costs
Decent fuel economy helps to take some of the financial sting from XK ownership - driven gently it will better 25 mpg - but servicing and insurance are pricey.
Value
Generous standard equipment makes the XK look like strong value compared to its relatively spartan rivals - all versions have satnav and power leather seats.
Stereo
The stereo sounds brilliant and the satnav works well, although it takes time to learn to navigate the fiddly touch-screen control interface.
