Jaguar X Type 2.0d Classic Diesel Hatchback...

TThe X-Type is Jaguar's alternative to premium saloons like the BMW 3-Series and Audi A4. However it has never proved as popular as models from the German manufacturers, due in part to a limited engine line-up and the lack of a diesel until 2003. That's not to say the X-Type is a bad car - far from it. Admittedly the styling isn't very modern, both inside and out, but it's exceptionally refined and manages to blend excellent comfort with decent handling. It was facelifted in 2008 with larger bumpers and a more aggressive look along with a few interior tweaks, but it's still a step behind the best upmarket saloons.

It's the diesels which make the most sense in the X-Type however - in 2003 a Ford-sourced 130bhp four-cylinder diesel, was introduced. It offers comfortably brisk performance and impressive refinement. However the best engine in the range is the newer 2.2-litre diesel - also sourced from Ford - which arrived in 2005. It's more powerful with 155bhp but almost matches the 2.0-litre for fuel economy and feels much livelier. In March 2008 this version was offered with an automatic transmission for the first time and the six-speed gearbox is exceptionally smooth. The Sport mode improves responsiveness ensuring it feels keen accelerating out of slower corners, and there is also a manual mode using the gearstick.
