This is an era of technology and innovation, and the growth in technology has also made certain milestone in the auto technology as well. The Jaguar XKR and the Mercedes SL500 are also two of the two gifts of the auto industry. The fight for the best has been fought since the birth of the planet earth, so why not we consider by this article that which car is the best.

The Jaguar XKR has the feline looks which are the Jaguar hall mark on the other hand the Mercedes SL500 has the sporty look. The overall body shape of the Jaguar is pear shaped while that of the Mercedes SL500 is wider at the front and angular at the back.

The Jaguar XKR is as sensational from inside as it is from out side, the dash is simple but classy which makes the driver feel special with its special supportive and comfortable seats. Mercedes SL500 has three spoke steering wheel, and in addition to that the customers can choose between the aluminum or the woody interior, which is certainly a good option to choose from.

Jaguar XKR has the seating capacity of four which actually very less capacity to accommodate a good heighted man. In the Mercedes SL500 the side pockets are fairly wide to provide the passenger enough room between them while sitting side by side. Similarly, you can accommodate fairly good amount of luggage in this car, while it is actually not possible in Jaguar.

The Jaguar XKR has a smooth drive at all the speed limits, and the extensive use of the aluminum has made this machine fairly less weight, which leads to a drive on the clouds. The Mercedes SL500 might have a luxurious look but it can be maneuvered to a sporty drive at the driver’s discretion. It has a direct steering option which allows choosing the weight of the steering according to the speed.

Jaguar XKR Convertible is sported by two engines. They’re both 4.2-litre V8s, and the standard 300bhp 4.2 will reach 62mph from rest in six seconds, while the 420bhp supercharged version will cover the same benchmark in five seconds dead. Top speed for both is limited to 155mph. the Mercedes has a 7G-tronic seven speed automatic gearbox, which irrespective of the speed limit supplies backup for the power speeding and overtake maneuvers.

The Jaguar XKR appears to be built impeccably, using high quality materials. Mercedes has a good record for reliability. The folding tin-top roof is no new innovation and this new model will be no different.

The Jaguar XKR has a pop up bonnet which is supposed to protect the passenger from hitting the engine in the time of a crash. From inside there’s a pair of pop-up roll bars and front, and side head and thorax airbags and whiplash-reducing headrests. Traction control and Trac DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) with ABS and electronic brake force distribution are also up to the mark. The Mercedes SL500 safety pack includes bi-xenon headlights and Intelligent Light System with cornering light function. All come with Electronic Stability Programme, Brake Assist and anti-lock brakes.

The Jaguar XKR is equipped with the navigation, 6 CD auto-changer, and a 525 watt bowers and a Wilkins sound surround system. While the Mercedes, has the same feature as that of the Jaguar in the entertainment area.

Final word:

The Jaguar XK is no doubt a stylish car, all styles and compliment but the actual winner of this competition is the Mercedes SL500, which is both style and durability, comfort and reliability.
