Jaguar X-Type Saloon (01-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 06 June 2008 Last Updated: 30 April 2009 The X-Type is Jaguar's alternative to premium saloons like the BMW 3-Series and Audi A4. However it has never proved as popular as models from the German manufacturers, due in part to a limited engine line-up and the lack of a diesel until 2003. That's not to say the X-Type is a bad car - far from it. Admittedly the styling isn't very modern, both inside and out, but it's exceptionally refined and manages to blend excellent comfort with decent handling. It was facelifted in 2008 with larger bumpers and a more aggressive look along with a few interior tweaks, but it's still a step behind the best upmarket saloons. 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 Buying used Petrol versions shed value because of the running costs and increased road tax so it's little surprise that diesels are more sought after and consequently command a premium over petrol versions. It's a less obvious choice than a BMW 3-Series or Audi A4 and you can get a better equipped X-Type for the same money.

This combination was only introduced in March 2008, but it makes perfect sense in the relaxed X-Type. Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
