X-Type (2001-2009)
The Jaguar X-Type was the entry-level luxury car introduced in 2001 and in production until 2009, all under the same variant known as the X400. The X-Type was developed while Jaguar was under ownership by Ford Motor Company, hence the X-Type is based on the Ford CD132 (Mondeo) platform. 2004-2006 saw the front grille slightly modified, while in 2007, a facelift version was introduced which featured revised front and rear fascia’s, new door mirrors and introduced new powertrain units, a 2.2 litre diesel and a new six-speed automatic with Jaguar sequential shift.
Although the X-Type was the smallest model of the Jaguar lineup, it was offered in notchback saloon and estate variations, with this being the first attempt from Jaguar at producing an estate.
