2014 Jaguar XKR

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 XKR.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2014 Jaguar XKR is a passenger‑car built on a platform that underpins its grand touring pedigree, featuring a 7.6‑quart oil capacity and 5W‑20 API‑specified lubrication. Paired with an automatic S6 transmission, it achieves EPA fuel‑economy ratings of 15 city, 22 highway and 18 combined mpg. In its reliability record the model accumulates only three owner complaints and four recalls, and its complaint history shows a marked decline from the peak of 30 grievances in 2005 to just two in 2001, suggesting that the 2014 year sits at a low point of the model’s complaint trajectory.

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 2014 Jaguar XKR sits in the middle of a five‑year window that shows a sharp rise in complaints from 2000 (0 complaints) to 2005 (30 complaints), while recalls remain low and steady at one each year. 2014’s complaint count of 1 is far below the 30 reported in 2005, indicating a significant improvement. The three top complaint areas—Fuel/Propulsion System, Tires/Wheels/Equipment, and Steering/Wheels/Esc—each have only a single report, and there were no crash or fire complaints that year. This low complaint incidence, coupled with the absence of recalls or investigations in the data, suggests that 2014 is a solid choice within this generation, though the limited data set means overall reliability can’t be fully confirmed. In short, 2014 appears to be a good year to buy a used XKR given its comparatively low complaint profile.
