Jaguar XK Overview
There is little wind or road noise to be heard inside the cabin and the XK delivers an impressively refined motorway cruise. Although the ride can be a little firm, usually at lower speeds, light steering and excellent road grip make for an enjoyable driving experience.
The XK boasts a cabin that is just as stylish and attractive as the exterior of the car. High quality materials are used throughout and the model offers an impressive driving position which is electrically adjustable to achieve maximum comfort. Head and legroom is plentiful in the front of the car, however the rear seats offer little space and would not be practical for long journeys.
Typical of Jaguar, an outstanding level of equipment is supplied as standard with the XK, including heated seats, Bluetooth connectivity, leather upholstery and a satellite navigation system.
