What is the Jaguar X-Type?
The Jaguar X-Type is a compact saloon, also offered as an estate. It brought Jaguar’s familiar saloon styling to a smaller part of the range, with a practical layout for everyday driving and room for luggage in the estate.
Jaguar introduced the X-Type as its first compact sports saloon. The estate added a new body style to the marque, while keeping the model’s place as a more compact alternative within Jaguar’s saloon range.
Generations and engines
The X-Type had one generation, the first generation (X400), sold from 2001 to 2009. Engine choices included diesel and petrol. Across the UK range, engine sizes ran from 2.0 L to 3.0 L; the US and Canadian petrol ranges covered 2.5 L to 3.0 L.
The engine mix varied by market. UK listings include diesel and petrol, while the US and Canadian figures cover petrol models. EU registration figures extend to 2011 and include 2.0 L and 2.2 L engines. The 2.2 L diesel had the most EU registrations among the listed versions.
How economical is the Jaguar X-Type?
The lowest UK official consumption figure is 5.6 L/100 km on the NEDC test. The US EPA rates the most economical listed version at 11.8 L/100 km, or 20 MPG combined. In Canada, the lowest figure is 11 L/100 km on the 5-cycle test. These figures use different procedures: NEDC in Europe, EPA in the United States and the 5-cycle test in Canada, so they are best compared within their own markets.
EU registration figures show the 2.2 L diesel leading among the listed versions in 2010, followed by the 2.0 L diesel. UK figures span 2001–2010; US and Canadian figures span 2002–2008.
