The Jaguar MkV (produced from 1948-1951) was debuted at the same time as the XK120, et it outsold the latter more than 2 to 1. The new MkV chassis, ore powerful engine, orsion bar suspension (equipped with double wishbones and a single torsion bar in front) and 18" wheels produced an altogether smooth ride characteristic with traditional balance of comfort. In addition, he MkV featured hydraulic brakes and Coker radial tires, nlike its predecessor, esulting in safe and enjoyable touring. The styling of the car followed prewar SS-Jaguar lines with upright chrome grille and the leaping Jaguar radiator cap mascot became available as an option.
