2014 Jaguar XK: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The biggest change for the 2014 Jaguar XK is the arrival of the coupe-only XKR-S GT, a street-legal track model limited to 25 cars for the United States. The rest of the range changes little, apart from the XKR gaining the Aero Pack as standard.
About the 2014 Jaguar XK
2nd generation (X150; 2007-2015), post-2012 design update and second-to-last US model year; 2014 introduced the limited XKR-S GT.
Jaguar positioned the XK as a luxury grand tourer rather than a tightly focused two-seat sports car. Its core strengths were V8 power, a lightweight aluminum body, comfortable long-distance ride quality, a leather-trimmed 2+2 cabin and a choice of coupe or convertible body styles. The model blended classic long-hood Jaguar styling with stronger everyday comfort and luggage space than many dedicated sports cars, while the supercharged versions added near-supercar acceleration.
The 2014 XK range runs from the comfort-focused, 385-hp XK grand tourer to the 510-hp supercharged XKR and 550-hp XKR-S. The limited XKR-S GT sits at the track-focused end, pairing the XKR-S engine with carbon-ceramic brakes, quicker steering and extensive carbon-fiber aerodynamic parts.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2014 Jaguar XK?

Is the 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT more powerful than the regular XKR-S?
No. Both use a 550-hp supercharged 5.0-liter V8. The XKR-S GT focuses instead on sharper cornering, stronger braking and greater high-speed stability through carbon-ceramic brakes, revised suspension, quicker steering and added aerodynamic downforce.
How rare is the 2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT in the United States?
The 2014 XKR-S GT is very rare, with only 25 coupes allocated to the United States. It was not offered as a convertible.
What changed on the regular 2014 Jaguar XKR?
The regular 2014 XKR gained the Aero Pack as standard. It adds an aerodynamic front splitter and a different rear spoiler, while the 510-hp supercharged V8 and main luxury equipment carry over.
Was the entire Jaguar XK redesigned for 2014?
No. The 2014 XK remained part of the existing second generation. The limited XKR-S GT was a new addition to the range, not a redesign of the full XK lineup.
