The Jaguar X-TYPE :: Exterior and Interior Improvements
Published: 13th October 2007
Jaguar X-TYPE
With major revisions including nearly 500 new components, the new X-TYPE retains all the original car’s strengths, and adds some new ones of its own.
The X-TYPE's exterior styling is significantly refreshed, with changes that give it greater visual strength and appeal.
The new X-TYPE also has subtle interior revisions that give more choice of trim and equipment, to further emphasise its luxury car credentials.
For the first time, X-TYPE buyers can choose diesel power with automatic transmission, including one-touch Jaguar Sequential Shift – broadening the new model’s appeal to those who previously would have ruled out X-TYPE purchase.
The 2.2D manual version has headline figures of 0-60mph in 8.7 seconds, a maximum speed of 134mph (216kph), a combined economy of 47.1mpg (6.0l/100km), and a CO2 rating of 159g/km. The respective figures for the 2.2D automatic are 9.5 seconds, 129mph (208kph), 41 mpg (6.9l/100km) and 184g/km. The comparative figures are similar for Estate versions.
The X-TYPE 2.2 Diesel automatic combines a powerful, advanced diesel engine with a proven luxury vehicle – the result is an exceptional blend of performance and refinement.
Saloon and estate versions of the new X-TYPE go on sale in the UK in March 2008 and in other European markets from April 2008.
