The overview

Introduced for 2002, the X-Type served as Jaguar's entry-level model but was never a great car. AWD and numerous safety features were standard but the cheap switchgear betrayed this car's origins as a mid-level Ford sedan. The X-Type's up-level 3.0-liter V6 is a lively performer, and the optional five-speed automatic shifts smoothly. (A five-speed manual was standard.) We found handling balanced at the limits but not all that agile in normal driving. The ride was comfortable and braking performance was excellent. On the downside, the cabin was a bit tight, road noise was pronounced, and fit and finish were unimpressive. A wagon version joined the 2005 lineup. 2008 was the final year for the X-Type.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
