Jaguar X-TYPE 2.5 4dr Sedan

The Jaguar X-Type is elegant, comfortable, and fun to drive.It represents a low cost of entry for a Jaguar and a strong value in this highly competitive class.It also gives its owner the distinction of driving a Jag.Yet this entry-level Jag offers something no other Jaguar has: the benefits of full-time all-wheel drive.That makes the X-Type a good choice for rain, snow and ice, and indeed it feels very secure in those conditions.

A new Jaguar Sportwagon has joined the X-Type line for 2005.Already popular in Europe this estate car, as it's called there, offers great cargo carrying capacity while maintaining Jaguar's unique style.It includes a tailgate with independently opening rear window, luggage tie-downs, removable luggage cover and cargo net.It also includes a neat hidden cargo compartment under the rear floor with a 12-volt power outlet.

The X-Type competes with the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and other near-luxury cars.The performance of the Jaguar compares favorably to these cars, while offering a distinct difference in feel and temperament.The Jaguar X-Type is a good alternative to these superb luxury sedans and its quality has improved considerably since it was first introduced, thanks to continuous improvements made by Ford at the factory in the U.K.As with the other cars in its class, the X-Type is smaller in size, making it easier to park and maneuver.

The X-Type looks unmistakably like a Jaguar, and that's no small design feat given its relatively compact dimensions.Better still, the X-Type smells and feels like a Jaguar, with all the traditional British ingredients that have defined the brand for seven decades.
