“Jaguar X-Type” – a car created by the developers and experts of the world famous group thought for a long time. They wanted to create a unique and compact sedan, which harmoniously would fit into the style of the brand. The car had become a dynamic, immaculate, comfortable, and with a more or less attractive price. Well, they succeeded.
“Jaguar X-Type" debuted in Geneva in 2001. The production of this model deals with the English plant, which is located in Birmingham. Previously, there were collected a Ford Escort. The firm invested about $ 400 million in modern Assembly line. Also funds allowed for the creation of high quality bodywork and the development of the fashionable trim. Plus 70% updated equipment spray booth and, of course, not left without attention of computer control system of the so-called press production. Moreover, the plant has constructed a rail thread to post cars for export by train. And finally, for the development and production of new items to recruit new staff. Each of the staff members participated in the course, is designed to 350 hours. So the production car "Jaguar X-Type”, the company has prepared thoroughly.
“Jaguar X-Type” – the most popular car company, Jaguar in its history. Actually, I should say, the car is atypical. This is the first all-wheel drive car manufactured by the company. So even with the power unit, located transversely. Yes, and there is an affinity with "Ford": it is based on the platform of the latest generation Mondeo.
The design of the model "Jaguar X-Type” – a separate issue. Modern exterior created in the best traditions of the company. The machines are connected by lines of three cars built by the firm. The bow section was taken from the XJ. The glazing and the profile is borrowed from the S-Type. And coolest hip wings and a distinctive stern took over to ХК8. We got the car with an aggressive design and luxurious interior. And completed the picture of excellent handling and decent comfort level. Not surprisingly, the car quickly became popular.

Cooling System “Jaguar X-Type”, his body, wheel, suspension – all this deserves special attention. The car had all four wheels leading! All-wheel drive is, no doubt, is a huge plus for any machine.

Strength of the body torsion, the developers have paid great attention. The creators of the machine say that the rigidity of the structure a third higher than the well-known leader – BMW 3-series.
Car production Jaguar of all time were distinguished by luxurious interiors. Designers always use high quality wood and leather. And, best of all, all of this – in the base set. The interior can be called English, “guarasci”. The dashboard is practically vertical – it abounds with wood inserts. Conspicuous longitudinal indent on the chairs and exquisite, beautiful doors, which are intricate pockets. Also decorate the interior mesh of the speakers, decorated with chrome rims. All of this clearly excellent taste and share luxury.
The Steering column can be adjusted in two planes. Glinow and tilt angle, the height of the front and rear parts of the cushion, pumping the so-called lumbar support is to adjust! However, there is no memory for settings. But to use the various features very simple. Air conditioning, for example. Large information display and clear buttons make the control process simple and fast. And also they separate the light, which is a very practical feature.
Front set proven over the years “McPherson“ of course on the dual transverse levers. The back is assembled on the sub-frame independent suspension (of course, multilink). This scheme provides a magnificent passage of any turns, as well as reducing vibration and any noise.
Sport chassis blends well with temperamental power units. Impresses even the basic version. And it – 2.5-liter V-shaped “six”. The engine, of course, not new, but good. Its power reaches the target of 194 HP, There are more impressive units – 231-horsepower, three-liter. Also V-shaped “six”. The motor, incidentally, is better and more solid than the "Lexus" or BMW.
Still, potential buyers can buy sports version. Its distinctive feature is retuned suspension and wheels large sizes. Also as apps are sports seats and the absence of any details of chrome. A completed version bordovskii manual transmission or Japanese“machines”.
Another model I would like to mention particularly. This "Jaguar X-Type" diesel. We all know that cars with this powertrain are renowned for their efficiency. And Jaguar is not an exception. So, in Russia the majority of the diesel versions exist with a black interior. Looks elegant and beautiful. However, attention should be paid not to the interior, and specifications.
This model has good handling and modest fuel consumption. About 8.5 liters per hundred "urban" miles. But on the highway it consumes and does little more than 5.5 L. the Suspension medium, which is also good. For Russia, by the way, ground clearance is increased. So the car suitable for our roads. Clearance is 16 inches – good performance for a corporate sedan.
“Jaguar X-Type" (diesel) gets positive reviews. Happy owners say the separate item roomy trunk (which is also still growing), control systems and authorities (e.g., CD and radio), “wheels” located on the steering wheel. In General comfortable and economical car, like many – and this is proven by the reviews.
“Jaguar X-Type" gets positive reviews not only because of its unusual appearance and the richly decorated interior. Security level & ndash; is also important. And the nuance, the manufacturers also paid a lot of attention.
175 thousand hours – that's how much time the company has spent to the processing of data relevant to the safety assessment model. How much time was devoted to research! Thanks to the results of the analyses were able to optimize the interaction of the chassis with the transmission, bodywork, finishes and, of course, with devices of passive safety. All of these actions were not done in vain. All components work as a whole, providing thus the maximum protection of both passengers and drivers. Dual airbags with modern sensors, belts, and other items provide a decent level of safety of life and the integrity of the car.
This model exists in various versions. Only one 4-door sedan produced in the light from 2008 to 2010 is available in five variants. The “weak” characterized by 145-HP diesel 2.2-liter engine and 6-speed “mechanics”. The most powerful boasts engine 231 HP (volume – 3 litres) and 5-speed automatic transmission.
5-door estate 2004-2008 exists in 8 variants. Variation of power units large – from 130-horsepower diesel, ending with the same 231-horsepower, three-liter. It is still possible to find (in used condition, of course) 4-door sedan 2001-2008. There is also the engine starts with diesel 130 "horses" and end with a petrol 3-liter.
What is the price of this car? It all depends on year, condition and, of course, the technical characteristics. For example, version 2007, with a 2-liter 156-horsepower engine, front-wheel drive and automatic transmission will cost about half a million rubles. Quite reasonable price, although there are models and cheaper. In General, to take or not to take – it is everyone's business. Today there are fans of “Jaguar” who are happy to purchase this car and drive it with pleasure.
