COVENTRY, England — Spy photographers have provided the first images of the midcycle face-lift for the 2009 Jaguar XK in both XK8 and XKR trims. Visual changes include a new front bumper with new outer air inlets below the headlights, and a redesigned rear bumper with LED taillights. It also appears that the XK8 and XKR will get unique styling cues.
Another noticeable change is the shark-fin antenna on the XK's deck lid. Previous models offered a power-retractable antenna and an antenna integrated into the rear spoiler.
No serious engine upgrades are expected, but Jaguar will reportedly be applying the XF's Jaguar Drive transmission interface to the XK.
The 2009 Jaguar XK will likely debut at the 2008 Paris Auto Show this fall.
