The Jaguar X-Type, produced from 2001 to 2009, represents the first generation (X400) of Jaguar's entry into the compact executive sedan market. Designed to compete with established European rivals, it offered a blend of classic Jaguar styling, premium interior appointments featuring leather and wood or aluminum trim, and a choice of V6 gasoline engines. While built on a platform shared with the Ford Mondeo, Jaguar extensively re-engineered it to deliver characteristic driving dynamics and comfort. The X-Type was predominantly offered with an all-wheel-drive system, though rear-wheel-drive variants were available with manual transmissions.
