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