Design

The XK series was designed by Jaguar's chief designer, William Lyons. The car's design was heavily influenced by the art deco movement, and it featured a long, flowing bonnet, a sloping roofline, and a distinctive grille. The XK series was also one of the first cars to use a monocoque chassis, which made it both lighter and more rigid than its predecessors.
