It’s amazing what a modern chassis can do for comfort. While dimensionally similar to the old XKR – which boasted a chassis dating to the Nixon era – this car’s modern aluminum structure offers plenty of foot, leg and head room, despite its low stance and tight-looking cockpit. Though you sit low, the seat is supportive and comfortable both for regular driving and hard cornering. Even tall drivers will find plenty of head room in the XKR, and the steering column adjusts electrically for angle and reach. Both seats are adjustable 10 ways, and heated for those cold mornings (although the heater controls are annoyingly located on the touch screen). The low stance makes getting in and out difficult.
