It is powered by a five litre V8 engine and a multi-tronic six speed automatic gearbox.
POLOKWANE – Blink and you will miss out on the awesome 2009 Jaguar XK convertible with its well cared for white coat of paint and black soft top.
This beauty is currently available at MGM Used Motors, situated at 105 Schoeman Street.
The car looks impressive. Even when it is standing still it means business, from the front bumpers, the mirrors with integrated LED indicators, the rear valance, LED tail lights and colour-coded side vents.
This Jaguar is powered by a direct-injection 5.0-litre V8.
Jaguar carried on in the E-type tradition of offering speed and sex appeal to die for without charging an arm and a leg for it.
A new XF-style cylindrical gear selector rises from the centre console when you hit the Start button. Turn it to D and you will drive around in typical Jag tradition accompanied by the characteristic V8 sound coming from this power unit.
Shift the gear selector clockwise to S and this six-speed automatic is more inclined to shift down and hang on to gears much longer, allowing for better control on bends.
If that still does not tickle your fancy, reach for the paddles instead and change the gears to your liking.
The XK’s roof is a power-latching, self-stowing system with three layers including Thinsulate insulation and a Rakona headliner. When the top is down, an aluminium tonneau cover conceals the black canvas roof.
Thanks to the XK’s “Lightweight Vehicle Technology” architecture, the convertible did not need the traditional extra stiffening panels seen on many other convertibles, meaning there is no added weight and no penalty in stiffness. The XK convertible is actually 19% lighter than the previous-generation XK drop-top.
Inside, the XK features a simple but elegant cabin design along with the highest quality leather and wood with all of the entertainment and convenience devices a sports car lover could wish for in this luxurious convertible.
The XK Convertible comes standard with:
• Leather upholstery.
• Heated front seats.
• Dual-zone automatic climate control.
• Bluetooth smartphone connectivity.
• Rear parking camera.
• 19-inch wheels.
This convertible features a Roll-over Protection Device consisting of two aluminium hoops that are automatically deployed if the car’s sensors detect the onset of a roll-over accident. This system is deployed by an advanced solid-state gyro sensor system. It is designed to deploy through the rear window even if the roof is up.

• Dual front and side airbags.
• Traction and stability control systems.
• Electronic brakeforce distribution.
