XK Return
#3
#4
At the moment, the replacement has been dropped with no plans at this time to replace the XK. JLR are concentrating on the F-Pace, XF and next year will be the variants of the XE such as the sport brake and possibly even a Coupe too. After this will be the XJ replacement and possibly after all that has been released they may go back to the XK, which I would bet on being a full on 4 seat GT car instead of a 2+2 to push the car up a bracket and away from F-Type sales.

Yes, that is the prediction - something bigger, more of a GT, a full 4-seat coupe. It is unlikely to be the same as the XK, because the XK also had to fit into the sports-car market. That market is now served by the F-Type, so the new GT is likely to be less sporting, more luxury.
Which is a shame, because I like the balance between sports & luxury in the XK. If I had to choose between the F-Type and a GT replacement for the XK, I'd probably have to go with the F-Type, as that is more what I want. But I find the F-Type a bit loud and flashy, "look at me!!". I guess I'll just have to keep the XKR...
