Based on a unitary (chassisless) construction and with similar styling to the other models, the XK engine was produced in a smaller 2.4 litre capacity for the new model, announced for the 1956 model year as the 2.4 litre saloon. Initially with drum brakes, by 1957 a larger 3.4 litre engined version became available with subtle styling changes and disc brakes became a standard fit. The cars stayed in production until 1959.
