Hello to you all,

I'm looking to buy a 2012 XKR or XKRS and I would like to know when is the next major change? Is it every 5 years? Should I wait?
I have a three years old son. Which child seat (second or third step) that is compatible with the XKR?

Thanks

Ian

 

Hi Ian,

Welcome. The last model year for the current XK will be 2013 with an all new car debuting in model year 2014, the new car will be a true 2+2 and move even more up market. I was given this information directly from the SE US Jaguar rep. There are some very attractive 2 year lease rates on the XK/R's right now. if you'd like to ask me any specific questions/impressions regarding the 12 XKR I'd be happy to answer them.

 

I just got a 2012 xkr-s.I was also looking at a Porsche 997 TT S, so I went for the xkr-s due to it's increased performance compared to other jags (not to say the 510 hp xkr is not fast!). I have 4 and 5 yr old kids who occasionally ride in my car- I use the last stage booster seats - just a base- they are like $15 at target and work well. The back seats are small- about the same as a 911 or gtr. They are fine for 1 kid, but with 2 it's a little tight for me since I'm tall and have to move the driver seat pretty far forward (NASCAR style)
