Overview

The 2012 Jaguar XK Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe segment. With just one trim on offer, the Jaguar XK has a base MSRP of $84,500. It competes directly with the BMW 6 Series Coupe and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe which is considerably more expensive. Only a 5.0L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 385 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, the XK Coupe maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Jaguar offers the XK in 17 stunning colors just on the base trim, with the Italian Racing Red being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Being a performance-oriented coupe from Jaguar, the XK is offered in a single trim level with a really powerful V8 engine underneath. Featurewise, it gets all the modern features you’d expect from a premium coupe. Some standout features include a rearview camera and automatic wipers, adjustable suspension, leather upholstery, leather interior trim, heated and cooled 10-way power front seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, and a lot more hi-tech features.
