JAGUAR XKR 2013 FULL REVIEW - CAR AND DRIVING

JAGUAR XKR 2013
As much fun as the old MK1 XKR was, it was a ludicrously inefficient car. Rarely had so little space on the inside been offered by something so big on the outside. It was almost like a reverse TARDIS. The same length as a seven seater Ford Galaxy, the XKR struggled to seat two decently sized adults. The latest car gives you a lot more practicality and a bigger serving of on-road capability as well. It's also a showcase for some state of the art vehicle engineering.
Pumped full of snarling attitude, the XKR-S - launched on the E-Type's 50th birthday - boosts the swagger quotient to almost unprecedented levels. There have been some almightily powerful Jaguar coupes in recent years and they've been growing gradually more focused. Whereas a big Jaguar coupe once felt like a saloon but with less headroom, the XKR-S ups the ante by quite some margin.

I have a a 2011 XKR supercharger 5 litre and love it. Its done 70000 miles. If you change the oils and filters each year you should have manageable running costs , except fuel!!! . One never asks the owner of a Rolls Royce what mpg they do. The reply is usually 'the cars not for you then' I love my XKR, Brings on a good smile when you set off😁 for a trip

[@Kryptic1046]

I bought one several months ago. The more I drive it the more I love it. I still don't know how Jag managed to put that much brutality and refinement within a single chassis. Driving an XKR is truly a Jekyll and Hyde experience.

My dream car. My dad had a Jaguar E-Type and I am from Coventry :)

[@jeffreyharley1480]

I just bought the same car in the review, except mine’s a ‘15. It’s being shipped cross country. Can’t wait til it shows up in my driveway.

Just got my 2nd XKR last Thursday - a 2012 @ £33k. Wonderful car 😁😁😁😁 Chopped in my utterly soulless 2016 BMW M4 (actually for what I paid for it 20 months ago), which you also reviewed a while back. NO regrets AT ALL. Infotainment may be a joke, but Soul, Noise, Engine, Ride are sublime. Worth the rise in tax to £600 ( tax is legalised theft). Thanks Jonathan for your reviews x

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stephenjudge7531]

No, tax is a privilege that pays for the infrastructure of our society. If you want to take more of your fair slice of the pie ( pollution, road use etc) then pay more. Simples

Now that you’ve had it for a year, what are your thoughts on reliability? Would love to have one for a daily but there is not much reliability info online.

[@lionyleftwich4418]

Everything you said in this review is COMPLETELY true!

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Appreciate that!

[@Tophet1]

Love the commentary.

[@jamiedodger7743]

Excellent review

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Glad you liked it!

[@simonhellier7281]

Robust review. Worth considering why such a thorough review gets so few views?

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Thanks!

[@Rezparviz]

The 0 to 60 is 4 seconds not 4.8

[@mikecampbell4882]

Is this a good daily driver

[@user-vd6jq9kd9x]

Yes! I've had a '13 model for three years and love it. It surprises me to see so few on British roads.

[@capitalcars6140]

Po co ten pasek na ekranie? 🤦‍♂️

[@HiredGoonage]

lol reverse Tardis

[@MoRobinson39]

They are good for 20k but overrated in many ways
