Default Jaguar XK Facelift SPY PHOTOS:

The Cat’s smile


Different from the car’s current design, the facelifted Jaguar XK will get a friendlier front end layout with a “smiling” face in form of a newly shaped air-intake in the front bumper.

We can’t see any other modifications on the car pictured here, but we gather a slight polish of the interior might be added.

We expect the “new” XK to be officially launched at the Geneva Show next March.

Photos are showing 7 spy photos and 2 studio images of the current XK model for comparison.

Yea the lower portion is slightly different. Maybe some sort of bodykit. Car was just introduced this spring. Highly doubt they are going to change it up so soon.

Sure looks a lot better. Makes it look visually lower, which is what this car needs.
