Spy Shots

The big cat is out of the bag! Here are the first pictures of Jaguar’s facelifted XK, seen for the first time without any front-end camouflage.  

Although the changes are subtle, the redesigned front bumper with smaller slot-like air vents below the headlights are clearly visible. Other changes include a restyled rear bumper, LED taillights for the first time and indicators incorporated into the wing mirrors.

A small power increase is expected for the 4.2-litre V8 in naturally aspirated and supercharged form, while the automatic ‘drive-select’ transmission from the XF will be offered too.

Jaguar’s new XK is due to hit showrooms early this year, but we’ll get our first peek when it’s unveiled at the Detroit Expo next week.
