2010 Jaguar XKR and XFR: First Drive

You know you're not living in ordinary times when an automaker touts the gas mileage of its new 510-hp, supercharged V-8, but that's what Jaguar did when it visited the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Ill., with a 2010 XKR coupe and convertible and XFR sport sedan in tow.

Jaguar Announces Pricing on 2010 XF, XK

The 2010 model year sees the addition of a high-performance model for the XF lineup, the XF-R, which was introduced just last year. There are also significant price hikes on all other XFs and XKs. All 2010 models go on sale during the summer of 2009.

The 2010 XF lineup includes the XF Luxury, Premium and XF-R, including a total of three engine options, two of which are brand new. The 2010 XF has a starting price of $51,150, which is a $1,950 price hike over last year’s starting price. Jaguar says the hike is due to a new acoustically laminated windshield and brake-assist safety system.

The new 385-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 comes standard on the Premium, and a supercharged version of the same engine powers the XF-R. The XF Premium starts at $56,150, and the supercharged XF-R starts at $79,150.
