CONVERTIBLE ROOF

Convertible models feature a triple-lined fabric roof. Designed to deliver hushed, top-up cruising, it can be powered up or down in less than 18 seconds. When lowered, it retracts completely into the bodywork beneath a rigid tonneau cover, so as not to compromise the XK's seductive lines.

INTELLIGENT HEADLAMPS

New slimline Bi-function HID Xenon headlamps with integral LED daytime running lights give the XK a distinctive visual signature.They feature automatic levelling and washers, which operate with the ‘screen wash-wipe' function. Cornering lights illuminate the areas to the side of the car at low speeds when the indicators are being used, or at large steering angles, for example, when parking.The optional Adaptive Front Lighting system features dynamic pivoting headlights that react to the car's speed and the driver's steering. It can deflect the headlight beams by up to 15 degrees, to cast light deeper into corners.

POWERFOLD MIRRORS

Heated powerfold door mirrors fold back to help with parking or driving through narrow spaces. They also feature auto-dimming to reduce glare at night.

FRONT AND REAR PARKING AIDS

Front and rear parking aids provide an audible warning that alerts the driver to the proximity of objects. Arrows on the centre console Touch-screen provide further information on their location in relation to the vehicle.

RAIN-SENSING WINDSCREEN WIPERS

Sensors automatically detect rain on the windscreen and switch the wipers on at the appropriate speed.

WHEEL CHOICES

A range of 8 different alloy wheel designs are available.

ENHANCED INTERIOR CHOICE

A wide choice of colours, materials, trims and veneers gives the XK driver an opportunity for a high level of personalisation. Seven interior colour themes and seven veneers are available, depending on the model chosen.

LEATHER STEERING WHEEL WITH INTEGRATED CONTROLS

The leather steering wheel houses thumb-operated switches on either side of the centre hub to operate the in-car entertainment system, cruise control and optional Adaptive Cruise Control.The steering wheel can also be specified to include heating.

DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

The dual zone climate control system incorporates individual cabin temperature control for both driver and front passenger. It is fully automatic, with auto-recirculation, humidity control and automatic window demisting.

SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP

The use of the finest materials guarantees that the cabins of all XK models are finished to the most luxurious standards. Leather is used extensively, along with hand-crafted wood veneers and smooth chrome. The interior colour harmony is enhanced with soft-feel paint on the switches around the JaguarDrive Selector™ and the Touch-screen, the brighter paint on the air vents and instrument panel, and the Piano Black finish across the central console. The optional Jet leather headlining on coupé models has been produced by Poltrona Frau, a renowned furniture house with long experience of creating premium interiors for the motor industry.

SUPERIOR SEATING OPTIONS

The XK range offers a choice of two styles of seat, both with detailed finishing and a comprehensive range of colour options.- Luxury seats are standard in the XK and XKR. They are heated and cooled, and feature Softgrain leather, along with 16-way power adjustment and memory function.- Performance seats are standard in the XKR-S. They provide the ideal combination of comfort and lateral support, with integrated head restraints and strongly sculpted side bolsters for exceptional support during hard cornering. They are upholstered in luxurious Softgrain leather and feature 16-way electric positioning with heat with memory functions. There is a range of sporting colourways to choose from, with optional contrast stitch. XKR-S seats also feature unique Carbon Leather accents and contrast micro-piping.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

The instrument panel is highlighted with Phosphor blue illumination, a hallmark of contemporary Jaguar styling.

JAGUAR SEQUENTIAL SHIFT™

The 6-speed fully adaptive shift system delivers smooth and lightning fast gear changes with optimised performance and economy. For maximum driver involvement, gears can also be selected manually using paddles mounted behind the steering wheel.

ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS

The XK's Adaptive Dynamics analyse speed, steering and body movements 500 times a second and adjust the suspension with electronic dampers to achieve the ideal balance between comfort and precise handling. This system works in conjunction with the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). The default setting for DSC comes into play as soon as it detects the wheels slipping. The Trac DSC setting, on the other hand, allows some slipping and overspin before it intervenes - this allows for a sportier drive and is also essential with snow chains.

JAGUARDRIVE SELECTOR™ AND JAGUARDRIVE CONTROL™

The automatic transmission is controlled by the beautifully designed JaguarDrive Selector™, which rises into the driver's hand once the 'Start' button is pressed. Thanks to the Jaguar Smart Key System™ with Keyless Start the driver simply has to depress the brake pedal to enable this sequence. Then the driver only needs to turn the selector to engage transmission settings, or to move from Drive to Sport mode. JaguarDrive Control™ offers further driving modes - Dynamic for more responsive acceleration and Winter for more progressive control in slippery conditions.

ACTIVE DIFFERENTIAL

Active Differential - standard on the XKR and XKR-S - provides superior asphalt and loose surface traction. It is designed to detect any slipping and vary the power supplied to each wheel to help keep the car as stable as possible.

PERFORMANCE BRAKES

The advanced braking systems for the XK range were developed at Jaguar's research facility at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany.Four-channel ABS (anti-lock braking system) is supplemented by Emergency Brake Assist, designed to automatically activate the ABS if it senses a sharp application of the brakes. This can stop the car, with more steering control, some time before the driver alone could have achieved the same effect. The XK features the Jaguar Performance Braking System for the ideal balance of power and stability. On the XKR and XKR-S the Jaguar High Performance Braking System, with 380mm front discs and aluminium calipers, provides even more sensitivity and control.

CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC SPEED LIMITER

Cruise control and an Automatic Speed Limiter system are fitted as standard throughout the range and offer increased convenience during motorway driving.Optional Adaptive Cruise Control features a microwave radar in the front bumper, designed to sense if the vehicle in front slows down. It then uses the throttle and brake to maintain a constant time gap. Once the road clears it will take the car back up to the previous speed. The radar also operates a Forward Alert, which gives the driver an audible warning if the traffic ahead slows quickly or another vehicle moves into the same lane.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

The braking system works with the JaguarDrive Selector™ to release the parking brake when 'Drive' is selected. The driver can also choose to operate the parking brake manually.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

When Adaptive Cruise Control is fitted, a microwave radar in the front bumper is designed to sense if the vehicle in front slows down, and then use the throttle and brake to maintain a constant time gap. Once the road clears it will take the car back up to the previous speed. The radar also operates a Forward Alert, which gives the driver an audible warning if the traffic ahead slows quickly or another vehicle moves into the same lane as the XK.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

The XK's braking system works with the JaguarDrive Selector™ to release the parking brake when 'Drive' is selected. The driver can also choose to operate the parking brake manually.

ADAPTIVE RESTRAINT TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM (ARTS™)

Jaguar's unique and highly advanced Adaptive Restraint Technology System (ARTS™) can help to protect front seat occupants in the event of a collision. Within a fraction of a second, ARTS™ is designed to assess the severity of any impact and, using weight sensors in the front seats plus sensors to detect the seat position and the seat belt status, deploy the dual-stage airbag in the most appropriate way.

PEDESTRIAN CONTACT SENSING SYSTEM™

The Pedestrian Contact Sensing System™ and automatically deployable bonnet can also help protect those outside the car. The system is designed to raise the bonnet slightly if it detects contact with a pedestrian in order to help prevent their head from contacting hard points under the bonnet.

ROLL-OVER PROTECTION FOR CONVERTIBLES

The XK Convertible has its own array of safety features, including a highly advanced roll-over protection system. If the car's on-board sensors detect an impending roll-over, two massively strong hoops - normally hidden under the rear tonneau - are triggered and designed to be deployed and to lock behind the rear seats within 65 milliseconds.

AIDS TO SAFER DRIVING

The XK features a number of safety systems designed to improve road-holding and stability:

• Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
• Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD)
• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
• Traction Control (through engine and brake intervention)
• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING

With this option fitted, sensors in each wheel continuously monitor the pressure in the tyres, and alert the driver to any unusual change that could signal a loss of pressure before it becomes a serious problem.

SECURITY

Door locks on the XK are controlled remotely from the key fob, and each door can also be locked or double-locked with a button on the handle. In addition, the doors will lock automatically when the car reaches a pre-set speed, which can be chosen by the driver. The XK is also protected by an alarm and engine immobiliser.
