2010 Jaguar XK

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2010 XK.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2010 Jaguar XK is a passenger‑car built on Jaguar’s contemporary platform and equipped with a six‑speed automatic (S6) transmission, delivering fuel‑economy figures of 16 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and a combined 19 mpg. Across the model’s 1997‑2015 production span, owner complaints peaked at 30 in 2007 and fell to a low of two in 2009; the 2010 model inherits that downward trend, registering only six total owner complaints with the fuel‑system (gasoline) identified as the most frequent issue and two manufacturer recalls recorded. This placement indicates that the 2010 XK sits in a relatively stable segment of the model’s reliability history, offering a modestly proven record without the higher complaint levels seen earlier in the generation.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 15,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant every 15,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 15,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

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 second-generation XK launched with elevated complaint counts in 2006 (26) and 2007 (30), then settled into a low-complaint pattern from 2008 onward. The 2010 model year continues that trend with just 6 complaints, though it carries 2 recalls—a figure that is average for the generation, which ranged from 1 to 4 recalls. Notably, 2010 saw a sharp rise in technical service bulletins to 293, up from 223 in 2009, indicating that Jaguar issued extensive guidance to dealers even as owner-reported issues remained sparse. The complaints that do exist are isolated to single instances in the fuel system, engine, engine cooling, and electrical categories, with one fire complaint and no crash complaints. Overall, the 2010 XK appears to be a relatively trouble-free year from a complaint standpoint, but the high TSB volume suggests a buyer should verify that all relevant service bulletins have been addressed.
