2015 Jaguar XKR

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2015 XKR.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2015 Jaguar XKR is a passenger car that holds a 7.7‑qt engine oil capacity requiring 5W‑20 viscosity and is matched with a six‑speed automatic transmission. It carries an EPA fuel‑economy rating of 16/24/19 mpg (city/highway/combined) and is subject to two recalls. With only two total owner complaints—chiefly in the fuel/propulsion system—the 2015 model sits at the low end of the complaint range seen across the 2000‑2005 XKR span, where complaints varied from a low of two in 2001 to a high of thirty in 2005, indicating markedly improved reliability for this year.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

In 2015 the model recorded one complaint each in Fuel/Propulsion System and Air Bags, for a total of two complaints, and reported zero crash and zero fire complaints. Compared with the 2005 peak of 30 complaints and the single recall recorded in 2000 and 2001, the 2015 complaint count is markedly lower. The recall history across the generation remained limited, with only one recall reported in 2000 and 2001, and no recall information listed for 2015. The complaint trajectory shows a decline from the 2005 high of 30 complaints to just two complaints in 2015. Overall, the 2015 Jaguar XKR presents a low‑risk purchase relative to earlier model years.
