2011 Jaguar XK

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2011 XK.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2011 Jaguar XK is a passenger car fitted with a six-speed automatic transmission, delivering an EPA-estimated 16 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. With just three owner complaints on file—centered on the structure—and two recalls, this model year sits near the low end of the XK’s complaint history, which spans from 1997 to 2015 and ranges from a peak of 30 in 2007 to a low of 2 in 2009, indicating a relatively trouble-free ownership experience.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2011 Jaguar XK sits in a transitional period between the higher-complaint 2006–2007 model years (26 and 30 complaints respectively) and the quieter 2012–2015 stretch (2–3 complaints annually), with its three recorded complaints — one each in Structure, Air Bags, and Engine & Engine Cooling/Fuel System — aligning closely with the 2010 (6 complaints) and 2012 (2 complaints) figures. Recalls remained steady at two per year for both 2010 and 2012, suggesting the 2011 model likely experienced a similar recall cadence, though the data does not specify the 2011 recall count. Technical Service Bulletins climbed sharply across the generation, from 190 in 2006 to a peak of 320 in 2013, indicating growing dealer-level service activity that the 2011 model would have been subject to despite its low complaint volume. No crash or fire complaints were recorded for 2011, and the data does not specify root causes for the three complaint areas. The 2011 XK represents a relatively clean entry in a generation where complaint frequency dropped markedly after 2007, making it a reasonable purchase candidate provided all recall work is verified complete.
