Overview

2015 Jaguar XK

The 2015 Jaguar XK offers a compelling blend of performance and luxury, powered by a robust 5.0-liter V8 engine. Its rear-wheel-drive chassis and automatic transmission deliver a classic grand tourer experience. However, potential buyers should be aware of its below-average reliability verdict, influenced by specific component failures and a substantial number of technical service bulletins. Fuel economy is modest, with a combined EPA rating of 18 MPG, reflecting its performance-oriented powertrain. Safety ratings are not available, emphasizing the need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.

Critical Failure Risk

A reported critical failure involved a broken plastic retainer clip on the fuel pump flange, leading to fuel line detachment and significant fuel leakage. This poses a severe fire risk.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
