5 reasons to buy the 2014 Jaguar XKR

1. Appealing coupe and convertible body styles 

The 2014 Jaguar XKR is available as a two-door luxury coupe or convertible to suit your lifestyle. Want to drive along the coast with the top down? Lower the XKR convertible’s power soft top and store it in the bodywork behind the rear seats. Need to fit a few bags in the back for a road trip? Use the coupe’s 11.7 cu-ft of cargo space with convenient rear liftback access. Both models have rear seats to accommodate extra gear or two additional passengers. 

2. Two supercharged V8 engine options 

Want a luxury coupe or convertible that’s capable of blistering acceleration? Check out the 2014 Jaguar XKR. The base XKR has a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine making 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque, and the XKR-S has a more powerful version of the V8 engine good for 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. The XKR can make the zero-to-60 sprint in 4.6 seconds, and the XKR-S can do it in 4.2 (according to the manufacturer, when new). Look for a model with the performance active exhaust system to enjoy the ultimate throaty V8 soundtrack (available on base XKR; standard on XKR-S). 

3. Sporty handling 

The 2014 Jaguar XKR is a lightweight and agile luxury car that’s incredibly fun to drive. The adaptive dynamics system delivers athletic handling and ride comfort on all types of pavement. This system works together with active differential control to improve traction and cornering—particularly useful when you’re enjoying a day of spirited driving or you’re out in inclement weather. Wherever the road takes you, the XKR is a sporty and luxurious companion. 

4. Generous standard features 

Looking for a well-equipped luxury car? The 2015 Jaguar XKR’s long list of standard features will please you. You’ll enjoy 16-way adjustable heated and ventilated luxury seats in the base XKR, and precision-crafted heated performance seats with lumbar support and side bolsters in the XKR-S (also available on base XKR). You’ll also appreciate the seven-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth® and iPod® connectivity, SiriusXM® Radio, HD Radio, and eight-speaker Bowers & Wilkins® surround sound system. Whichever XKR model you choose, you’ll be thrilled with all the premium amenities. 

5. Available Portfolio Pack 

If you want a luxury vehicle with custom flavor, don’t miss the new-for-2014 Portfolio Pack available on the base Jaguar XKR. This opulent package offers an exclusive interior theme in Navy or Truffle, with handcrafted soft-grain leather and contrast stitching on the front seats and steering wheel. Feast your eyes on the interior trim in hand-polished Shadow Walnut or Dark Figured Aluminum, with a handcrafted Poltrona Frau® leather headliner. A chrome-mesh grille and chrome mirror caps add elegant brightwork to the exterior of the already distinctive XKR.
