Jaguar XK Convertible 2009 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The all-new Jaguar XK is the long-awaited successor to Jaguar's sports car franchise, and though its new face is decidedly controversial, it is still a very desirable car. The new-for-2007 XK comes as both a coupe and a convertible. Riding on a much longer wheelbase, the new aluminium-built XK offers substantially more interior space than the old model. The XK 4.2 model is powered by the corporate 4.2-litre V8, while the XKR gets a supercharged version of that engine. Both engines are mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with paddle shifters. Its rigid chassis and the latest CATS adaptive suspension aim for a smooth ride and sporty cornering. Standard equipment includes DVD navigation, keyless entry and keyless start, a seven-inch video display, Bluetooth capability, cruise control, a 6-CD/MP3 player, rear park assist, cruise control, and electronic parking brake. Options include adaptive cruise control with a forward-alert system that sounds an audible warning, full soft leather upholstery, and a 520-watt Alpine sound system with eight speakers. Safety feature include front and side airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, dynamic stability control with a track feature, and electronic rollover mitigation.
