Jaguar XK

The Jaguar XK lineup starts with the XK and sport-styled XK Touring, both comfort-focused grand tourers with a naturally aspirated V8. The XKR and more richly detailed XKR Portfolio add supercharged performance while keeping the XK’s leather-lined touring character. The XK Final Fifty and XKR175 75th Anniversary are limited U.S. commemorative editions with unique aerodynamic and visual details. The XKR-S brings 550 hp and more focused road tuning, while the rare XKR-S GT adds specialized braking, suspension, steering, and aerodynamic hardware for track use.

Frequently asked questions

Is XK both the model name and a trim name?

Yes. Jaguar XK names the full model family, while XK also identifies the regular luxury-focused trim. XKR, XKR-S, and the limited editions are progressively more specialized versions within that family.

What is the difference between the XK and XKR?

On later X150 models, the XK has a 385-hp 5.0-liter V8, while the XKR uses a 510-hp supercharged V8. The XKR also adds an active rear differential, stronger brakes, and more functional aerodynamic bodywork.

How is the XK Touring different from the regular XK?

The short-lived XK Touring keeps the regular XK’s 385-hp V8 and adjustable suspension but uses a fixed equipment package. It adds sport-styled bodywork and heated 10-way sport seats; the regular XK has 16-way heated and cooled seats in later specifications.

What does the XKR-S add over the XKR?

The XKR-S raises output from 510 to 550 hp and adds a lower, firmer suspension setup, an active exhaust, stronger brakes, performance seats, and functional aerodynamic pieces. It is sharper and more performance-focused than the XKR.

How is the XKR-S GT different from the XKR-S?

The XKR-S GT keeps the XKR-S model’s 550-hp engine but goes much further for track driving. It adds carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber aerodynamic parts, adjustable-height dampers, a wider front track, and quicker steering.

What is the XK Final Fifty?

The XK Final Fifty is a U.S.-only farewell edition based on the 510-hp XKR. Jaguar built 50 examples: 25 coupes and 25 convertibles. Each received lower XKR-S-derived suspension tuning, an active exhaust, performance seats, and added aerodynamic hardware.

Is the Final Fifty the same as an XKR-S?

No. The Final Fifty is based on the 510-hp XKR, while the XKR-S has 550 hp. The Final Fifty borrows lower suspension tuning and other performance hardware from the XKR-S but remains a distinct farewell edition.

What is the XKR Portfolio?

The XKR Portfolio is an earlier, more richly trimmed special edition of the XKR. It uses a 420-hp supercharged 4.2-liter V8 and emphasizes upgraded leather, distinctive exterior trim, 20-inch wheels, premium audio, and limited-edition character.

What is the XKR175 75th Anniversary edition?

The XKR175 is a U.S.-only anniversary coupe limited to 175 examples. It keeps the XKR’s 510-hp supercharged V8 and adds a 174-mph electronic limit, functional aerodynamic pieces, dedicated 20-inch wheels, and unique identification.

Which Jaguar XK trim is the comfort-focused choice?

Among later X150 models, the regular XK is the comfort-focused choice. It has the smooth 385-hp V8, adjustable suspension, 16-way heated and cooled leather seats, navigation, and premium audio without the firmer focus of the XKR-S models.

Which XK trim adds more speed without becoming a track-focused model?

The XKR is the straightforward step up. On later cars, its 510-hp supercharged V8, stronger brakes, and active rear differential add substantial performance, while heated and cooled leather seats preserve the XK’s grand-touring comfort.

Do all Jaguar XK special editions add horsepower?

No. The XKR175 and Final Fifty retain the 510-hp output of the XKR they are based on, while the XKR Portfolio focuses on trim rather than extra power. The XKR-S and track-focused XKR-S GT use the higher-output 550-hp V8.

Which Jaguar XK trims were coupe-only?

The XKR175 and XKR-S GT were coupe-only special editions. XK Touring, XKR-S, and Final Fifty models were sold in both coupe and convertible forms, although availability depends on the production era.

Do the regular XK and XKR have heated and cooled front seats?

On later 5.0-liter XK and XKR models, yes. Both use 16-way power-adjustable soft-grain leather front seats with heating and cooling. The XK Touring instead uses heated 10-way sport seats.
