Car reviews

Jaguar seems to be gradually adapting to life in the 21st century and the new XK is the strongest evidence yet that it can make a modern car that drives as well as it looks. Like the XJ saloon in 2003, the new XK coupe benefits from lightweight aluminium construction making it feel more of a sportscar on the road rather than the heavy grand tourer the original XK8 was. Class-leading safety, generous equipment levels and a thundering V8 engine all add up to making the new XK a genuinely appealing sports coupe.
