The Jaguar XK (X150) debuted for the 2007 model year, replacing the popular X100. Designed by Ian Callum, its bonded and riveted aluminum monocoque was both lighter and stiffer than its predecessor's steel shell. Early cars used a 4.2L V8 in both naturally aspirated (300 hp) and supercharged XKR (420 hp) forms, but a 2010 update brought a new direct-injected 5.0L V8 with 385 hp and 510 hp, respectively. A 6-speed ZF automatic was the only transmission offered.
Collectors are drawn to the X150's blend of modern performance and classic GT proportions. The powerful V8 engines, particularly the supercharged versions found in the XKR and the limited-production 550 hp XKR-S, offer impressive speed. It's a comfortable and stylish long-distance cruiser that still looks contemporary, yet it has depreciated to a point where it's a genuine performance bargain.
With an average sale price under $20,000, the X150 market is currently very accessible. Base coupes and convertibles from early years offer the lowest entry point. Low-mileage examples and high-performance variants like the XKR and the rare XKR-S command the highest values, often selling for more than double the price of a standard XK.
Buying Tips
- Check the 5.0L V8 for a history of water pump replacement, as failures are common and can cause overheating.
- Inspect the aluminum body panels carefully for signs of poor accident repair, which is difficult and expensive to do correctly.
- Test all electronics, including the central touchscreen, which can become slow or unresponsive with age.
- Listen for suspension noises, especially clunks from the front end, which can indicate worn control arm bushings.
- On supercharged models, look for coolant leaks from the intercooler system and check for a noisy supercharger snout coupler at idle.
Prices range from as low as $1,009 for project cars to $51,487 for top-spec, low-mileage variants.
