Technik: Auffälligste Änderungen an den Karosserien waren die einteilige Panorama-Windschutzscheibe, der entfallene Hüftschwung der Vorgängermodelle, die durchgehende Stoßstange hinten und die Jaguar-Figur auf der Motorhaube. Ab 1958 wurde auch wieder der zweisitzige Roadster OTS (Open Two Seater) angeboten, der nun erstmals Kurbelscheiben an den Türen hatte. Der XK 150 war in den Farben Carmen-Rot, Rot, Weinrot, Imperial-Kastanienbraun, Schwarz, Cornish-Grau, Nebelgrau, Perlgrau, Weiß, Cotswold-Blau, Indigoblau, Sherwood-Grün und British Racing Green erhältlich.
