The Mk.V was introduced as a luxury four door Saloon or two door Drophead Coupe with both versions designed to seat five adults. It was the first Jaguar with independent front suspension, first with hydraulic brakes, first with spats (fender skirts), first specifically designed to be produced in both Right and Left Hand Drive configurations, first with disc centre wheels, first with smaller wider 16" balloon tyres, first to be offered with sealed headlamps and flashing turn signals for the important American market, and the last model to use the pushrod engines
It was launched along with the XK120 at the 1948 Earls Court Motorshow the first Saloons were built in late 1948 with the DHC delayed until March 1949 While the XK120 had a new overhead-camshaft XK engine, the Mark V retained the 1946-48 driveline including the overhead-valve pushrod straight-6 2½L (2664cc) with an output of 102bhp and 3½L (3485cc) with an output of 125 bhp, which the company had purchased from the Standard Motor Company just prior to World War II. The 1½L Standard engine used in previous models was not offered in the Mark V. The chassis frame was new with deep box sections and cross bracing for improved stiffness in handling and cornering, and independent front suspension by double wishbones and torsion bars
