Jaguar XKR Update Spied Testing

Jaguar may be quietly working on adding a SUV, roadster or new 3 Series-rivalling small coupe (or all three) to its line-up, but its ageing XK range is not to be left behind.

Jaguar may be quietly working on adding a SUV, roadster or new 3 Series-rivalling small coupe (or all three) to its line-up, but its ageing XK range is not to be left behind.

Launched in 2006, the second-generation XK is coming due for its midlife update. As these new spy photos show, development of at least the range-topping XKR is well underway.

Expected to hit the market sometime next year, the updated XK is expected to get revised headlights and tail-lights - as with its XF sedan sibling, spied recently - and a more aggressive aero kit.

Although no photos of the interior have been obtained, the XK's cabin will likely benefit from a similar overhaul.

Powertrains are likely to gain only small updates in terms of output, although Europe's strict emissions laws mean we can expect cleaner-running engines.
