2007 Jaguar XK Convertible

Opening Up the XK

The Jaguar XK Convertible adds open-air enjoyment to this quick, sophisticated and elegant ride.

The Jaguar XK Convertible is the modern-day embodiment of the classic XKE from the 1960s, but it’s also the most technically advanced Jaguar ever built. In homage to the original XKE, the Jaguar XK Convertible has freshly seductive flowing lines, a low-to-the-ground stance, long sloping hood, oval headlamps and a mesh grille.

But the most significant revisions lie under the hood and beneath the surface, starting with the powerful V8 engine.

The XK also makes extensive use of aluminum to create a rigid yet light unibody structure. This affords sporty but secure vehicle dynamics and a quiet, sophisticated ride. A six-speed automatic transmission allows manual operation via Formula One racing-style paddles mounted on the steering wheel. A fully automatic Drive mode adapts to individual driving styles, while a Sport mode can also be selected.

The sophisticated Enhanced Computer Active Technology Suspension in the Jaguar XK Convertible also lets the driver switch between Comfort and Sport modes. The suspension teams up with Servotronic power steering to strike an even balance between ride comfort and fairly crisp cornering. Those looking for a cushier ride could choose the Jaguar XJ sedan. At the other extreme, those looking for even sportier handling characteristics should consider the even pricier XKR Convertible.

Four-wheel disc antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and hydraulic brake assist afford quick and confident stopping. Dynamic stability and traction control maintain directional stability during cornering and minimize tire slippage while accelerating.
