The Jaguar XK8 and XKR's interiors reflected their luxurious nature. High-quality leather, wood trim, and meticulous attention to detail adorned the cabin, ensuring a refined and comfortable experience for occupants. Technological advancements, such as a sophisticated climate control system, power-adjustable seats, and a premium audio system, added to the car's luxurious appeal.
