The 2012 Jaguar XKR came one way under the hood: a single supercharged 5.0L V8, shared across both body styles Jaguar built that year. Clearances, torque figures and step sequences on this car are the ones Jaguar set for the 2012 XKR specifically, not values carried over from a neighboring model year.
Engines
- 5.0L V8 Supercharged Gas
Trims
- Base Convertible 2-Door
- Base Coupe 2-Door
Known issues on the 2012 XKR. NHTSA has no recalls on record for the 2012 XKR, and no owner complaints are filed against the year. A clean federal record means there is no open campaign to check your VIN against, so diagnosis on this car starts from the symptom in front of you and the factory specification for the supercharged V8.
Both 2012 XKR trims run the same supercharged drivetrain, so what separates a coupe job from a convertible job is body and roof hardware rather than engine work.
