Which Jaguar XKR version to choose

If the numbers that matter are power and 0–100, the 2011–2014 `5.0 AT` 550 hp is the peak: 550 hp, 680 Nm, 4.4 s, 300 km/h, Direct injection (direct), 5000 cm³, fuel 98, Automatic 6, RWD. Combined consumption is still 12.3 l/100 km — the same combined figure as the 510 hp `5.0 AT` and the 416 hp `4.2 AT`. City 18.9 and highway 8.6 are the same as every other `5.0 AT`. You pay for the extra 40 hp and 55 Nm with 20-inch wheels (255/35 R20, 285/30 R20) versus 19-inch on the 510 hp restyling 2 `5.0 AT`, and with a 50 km/h higher top speed (300 vs 250). Kerb is 1800 kg or 1753 kg; the lighter record is 47 kg less at the same 4.4 s.

If you want the 5.0-litre Compressor engine without the 550 hp tune, `5.0 AT` 510 hp (2009–2014) is 40 hp and 55 Nm below the 550 hp `5.0 AT`, 0.4 s slower to 100 km/h (4.8 vs 4.4), and limited to 250 km/h. Restyling 1 (2009–2011) uses Distributed injection (multi-point) and 18-inch wheels (245/45 R18, 275/40 R18); restyling 2 (2011–2014) 510 hp uses Direct injection (direct) and 19-inch wheels (245/40 R19, 275/40 R19). CO2 is 292 only on 2011–2014; on 2009–2011 it is not measured. Combined mpg-related figure is unchanged at 12.3.

If you want the last 4.2-litre Automatic before the 5.0, 2006–2008 `4.2 AT` 416 hp is 94 hp below 510 hp `5.0 AT` and 134 hp below 550 hp `5.0 AT`. 0–100 is 5.2–5.3 s (0.4–0.5 s slower than 510 hp, 0.8–0.9 s slower than 550 hp). Combined consumption is still 12.3; city is 0.3 lower than `5.0 AT` (18.6 vs 18.9); highway is 0.4 higher (9 vs 8.6). Ground clearance is 120 mm versus 100 mm on `5.0 AT`. Lightest kerb in the whole model is this generation’s 1665 kg record — 88 kg below the lightest `5.0 AT` (1753 kg) and 160 kg below the heaviest `4.0 AT` (1825 kg). Fuel is 98, same as later cars, not 95.

If you need a Manual, only 1 generation offers it: `4.0 MT` 363 hp (5 gears, 5.4 s, 250 km/h, Euro 4, 145 mm clearance, wheels not measured, engine location not measured) and `4.2 MT` 395 hp (6 gears, 5.4 s, 250 km/h, Euro 4, 145 mm). `4.2 MT` is 32 hp and 36 Nm above `4.0 MT`. Combined consumption is 12.5 on both. Gross weight on both Manuals is 2010 kg, the lowest gross in the catalogue.

If you want the smallest engine, `4.0 AT` 363 hp (3996 cm³, Automatic 5, 1998–2004) is 32 hp below `4.2 AT` 395 hp and 187 hp below `5.0 AT` 550 hp. Combined 12.5–12.7 is the highest combined figure in the data. Fuel is 95. Clearance on these Automatics is not measured.

Reliability, common problems, engine oil spec, engine number location, engine sound, reviews and sale prices are not measured in this dataset.
