Jaguar XK8
The Jaguar XK8 was a watershed moment for Jaguar — the first V8-powered model since the Daimler 250, introducing the all-new AJ-V8 engine to replace the aged straight-six. Designed by Geoff Lawson and built on a platform shared with the Aston Martin DB7, the XK8 set the template for Jaguar GT cars for the next two decades.

Q. Is a used Jaguar XK8 in India a sensible grand tourer purchase at ₹20–35 lakh?
SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026
The XK8 at these prices is seductive — a gorgeous V8 grand tourer for the price of a Tucson — but risk management is everything. Get it inspected by a marque specialist and budget ₹3–5 lakh for initial sorting.

Q. What real-world mileage does the Jaguar XK8's AJ-V8 engine return in Indian conditions?
SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026
It returns approximately 6–8 km/l in city conditions and 10–12 km/l on open highways. Monthly fuel spend for moderate city use works out to roughly ₹8,000–12,000. Most owners accept the fuel cost as part of the deal.

Q. How does the XK8's interior hold up in Indian humidity and heat?
SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026
The walnut veneer and leather can deteriorate significantly if the car has been garaged poorly. Check for delaminating wood veneer or cracked leather. A properly garaged XK8 holds up beautifully.

Q. Should you choose an XK8 over a Maserati GranTurismo or Porsche 911 at comparable used price points?
SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026
The XK8 is more affordable to run than the GranTurismo and more comfortable on long highways than the 911. If relaxed GT touring is the brief, the XK8 is the adult choice.

Q. What are the most common mechanical issues XK8 owners face in India?
SIX BUY AND SELL TEAM • Apr 2026
The AJ-V8's timing chain tensioners are the most critical item — failure can cause catastrophic engine damage. Also check the air suspension and the JaguarDrive selector. Any XK8 without recent timing chain work should have it done immediately.
