Jaguar X-Type Estate (04-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 06 June 2008 Last Updated: 11 February 2009 The five-door version of the X-Type was Jaguar's first ever estate car and thanks to excellent refinement and a good-size boot, it's usefully practical. It may not have the wide range of engines alternatives like the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class offer, but does have strong diesels including the excellent 2.2-litre unit. The ride quality is superb and it's well built too, but the rather traditional Jaguar looks mean it's not always a popular choice with younger drivers. In 2008 it was revised with bolder front and rear bumpers, but while it's not a bad car, the X-Type Estate, like the saloon, fails to reach the high benchmark set by the German premium makes. 3.5 out of 5 Other Jaguar reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Safety As well as a four-star Euro NCAP crash test safety rating, there's an abundance of safety equipment, including dynamic stability control and six intelligent airbags which tailor their response to the circumstances of an accident.
