Jaguar’s engineers must be out in bunches today — first our spy photographers spotted a nearly undisguised version of the company’s XKR refresh, and now we have some final images of the run-of-the-mill XK convertible. As with the XKR, the new XK is expected to debut at next week’s Detroit Auto Show.
Visual changes include a new front bumper with revised air intakes positioned below the headlights, plus a redesigned rear bumper with LED taillights. The changes will appear across the Jaguar line-up.
There will also be a new shark-fin antenna on the coupe’s deck lid. Previous versions featured a power-retractable antenna or rear-spoiler integrated unit.
While the engine line-up will remain relatively unchanged, the new XK / XKR range is likely to benefit from a stiffer suspension setup and recalibrated steering. The interior, meanwhile, will be fitted with Jaguar’s new drive-select transmission interface lifted from the XF sedan.
