The Jaguar xj and Jaguar xk
Jaguars are made in the UK and are extremely popular cars all over the world for their sleek look, high performance rating and saftey ratings alike. There are hundreds of series of Jaguars, including the xj and xk, both of which also have sub-series names. When deciding between the two, it is important to compare crucial points like the look, performance and safety mentioned above before deciding so you can buy the Jaguar that’s best for you, whether it’s a Jaguar xj or Jaguar xk.
Look
Both the Jaguar xj and Jaguar xk have the classic looks of a Jaguar but with a few differences between the two. The xj is considered to be a luxury saloon while the xk is considered a grand tourer. Both come in several series. For the Jaguar xj, these include the xj6 and xj12, while the Jaguar xk is available as a convertible or a coupe and includes the series xk8 and xkr. Both the Jaguar xj and Jaguar xk have the low, sleek look of a Jaguar making it unmistakable to those who see it.
Performance
Jaguar xj’s are considered to be well-performing vehicles with little more than regular maintenance required over the course of a car’s lifetime. The most modern Jaguar xj’s come with either a V6 or V8 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, making it a well-oiled and beautifully manufactured vehicle. Jaguar xk’s (the more modern ones) usually come with a V8 engine and 5 or 6 speed automatic transmissions. Both of these cars are considered luxury Jaguars and are beautifully running machines
Safety
The most recent safety report from the UK where the Jaguar xj and Jaguar xk are both manufactured does not give a difference in safety specifically to each series of Jaguar but claims only that Jaguars in general are among the safest cars on the road in Britain today, which is a huge honor for the Jaguar and one that has been given often throughout the course of the life of Jaguar.
So when considering which Jaguar to buy, both will run wonderfully and powerfully and both will keep you relatively safe as you drive, so the biggest question to answer when choosing between the Jaguar xj and Jaguar xk is more about your personal style and comfort you want in a car.
