Jaguar XKR-S Convertible (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 08 February 2012 10:00

This is the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible, a 542bhp drop-top with a £100,000-plus price. A Jaguar XKR-S Convertible? Sounds a bit wrong to me. Can you imagine Porsche doing a GT3 cabrio? No, but then the XKR-S coupe and GT3 are very different cars, whatever the Jag’s fighty face and mighty figures suggest. The Porsche is, was and always will be, a trackday ...

Jaguar XF 2.2 D facelift (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 30 March 2011 09:00

After boldly reasserting itself at the top end of the luxury saloon market with the radical XJ, Jaguar is now stretching in the other direction with this, the XF 2.2 D, the first four-cylinder XF. We slid behind the wheel of a prototype covered in disguise to hide the facelifted bodywork that’ll accompany the new engine when it lands in ...

Jaguar XJ Supersport (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 20 April 2010 10:36

The Supersport is the cream on top of Jaguar’s new XJ range for 2010. The supercharged V8-powered limousine is the flagship, a full-fat experience in which only 5% of XJ customers will indulge. How does the £87,455, ultimate version of Britain’s S-class drive? That’s not a Jag XJ, that’s a Citroen concept car! Whatever happened to drawing rooms on wheels? ...

Jaguar XK 5.0 Convertible (2009) first drive

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 16 April 2009 10:30

Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the ever-so-subtle facelift that identifies the latest Jaguar XK Convertible: reprofiled front bumpers, mirrors with integrated LED indicators, new rear valance, LED tail lights and colour-coded side vents. A bit less subtle is the direct-injection 5.0-litre V8, up from 4.2 litres and with matching respective 26% and 23% boosts to power and torque. Put simply, ...

Jaguar XF 3.0 Diesel S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 11 March 2009 00:01

Is Jaguar at a stroke about to answer our biggest criticisms of the XF executive saloon? Now the dust has settled after the epoch-bending new four-door replaced the stuffy S-type in 2008, we've grown used to seeing the wedgy new Jag on our roads and had time to assimilate the XF's place in execville.CAR Magazine didn't swallow the PR spin ...

Jaguar XK 5.0 Coupe (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 11 March 2009 00:01

We've always liked the Jaguar XK at CAR Towers. Those Callum curves, that lightweight aluminium build, the effortless performance... To be honest, there wasn't much wrong with the outgoing XK sports cars, so we were anxious to make sure the new, facelifted-for-2010 coupe and roadster didn't meddle with a winning formula. Now we've driven the new XK coupe, complete with ...

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 20 February 2009 10:52

Ok, let’s try to get through this piece without mentioning the credit crunch. It won’t be easy, seeing as Jaguar’s revised XKR is a 911/M6/SL-rivalling, mile-munching supercharged GT costing £72,400, but we’ll give it a go. In a conscious effort to shake off the shackles of the ‘old man’ image Jaguar is making bold claims about the technology in not ...

Jaguar XF 2.7 D Prem Lux (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 18 January 2008 11:18

Jaguar's XF 4.0-litre supercharged SV8 is a great car, but along with the naturally aspirated V8 it’ll only account for 5 percent of sales. But the 2.7-litre diesel will mop up a whopping 70 percent of sales. This then, is the crucial test for the new XF, and for Jaguar. Things start well, because the more you see the XF, ...

Jaguar XJ 2.7 TDVi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 04 May 2007 11:57

New. In what sense exactly? Okay, so neither you, I nor Jaguar is under any illusion that the ‘real’ new XJ can’t come soon enough. Current Jag execs admit that the decision to stick with retro design was a mistake and that the next car will look much more modern, taking cues from the C-XF concept. But that car won’t ...
