Miles Overview
The XK8 is Jaguar's grand tourer for 1997, a two-seat convertible that pairs luxury with real performance. Inside, you get rich leather and wood trim, and the cabin stays comfortable even on long trips. Reliability is typical of 90s Jaguars: the engine and transmission are solid, but electrical gremlins and cooling system issues can pop up. The XK8 is the only trim in the 1997 lineup, so you get the full grand-touring experience without any weaker sibling to compare it to. Its 4.0L V6 makes 290 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed automatic that shifts smoothly and keeps the car relaxed on the highway.
