The X-TYPE from Jaguar. A distinctive range of premium saloons and elegant estates, newly redesigned to offer more style and even more choice. Every model focused on delivering an outstanding driving experience; quality and refinement as standard; luxury that can be enjoyed, every day.

The new face is bold and contemporary, the lines and stance more sporting, the signature detailing unmistakeable. X-TYPE perfectly balances performance with versatility, a dynamic character with great looks, luxury and practicality.

Power to suit purpose. Petrol or diesel, manual or automatic. A real choice.

Newly expanded engine and transmission combinations mean an even broader X-TYPE range. Refined common rail diesels, or powerful 24-valve V6 petrol engines; 5 and 6-speed manual, automatic or one-touch sequential shift transmissions – there is an X-TYPE to match your needs and to exceed anything you might expect.

Jaguar's highly efficient turbocharged 2.0 Litre Diesel Engine is available with 5-speed manual transmission. It is quiet and responsive, delivers excellent Fuel Economy and, at 149g/km, has one of the lowest figures for CO2 emissions in its class.

The 2.2 Litre Diesel is one of the most refined diesel engines in the world and now offers the choice of either 6-speed manual or the new 6-speed Jaguar Sequential Shift™ automatic transmission with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Jaguar Sequential Shift™ has the dual capability of fully automatic or sequential manual gear selection - a combination that's smooth, flexible, economical and dynamic. It is specifically tuned to deliver sporting performance and relaxed cruising, and is unique to X-TYPE 2.2 Litre Diesel with DPF models. The 2.2 Litre Diesel Engine also features transient overboost – a few seconds at a time of increased turbo boost up to 366Nm of torque, for maximum overtaking punch whenever added performance is needed.

X-TYPE also offers Jaguar's superb 2.0 Litre or high performance 196 PS 2.5 Litre V6 or 231PS 3.0 Litre V6 Petrol Engines, again with 5-speed manual or fully automatic transmission options.

It's a range with a huge breadth of abilities – but every choice is designed to combine performance with refinement for maximum driving pleasure.
