The Jaguar X-Type, released in 2001, was the first all-new model from Jaguar after Ford acquired the brand, and it marked a significant shift for the company. As one of the smallest executive cars in the Jaguar lineup, the X-Type was built on the same platform as the Ford Mondeo but had a distinctly different personality, particularly in terms of design.
Jaguar's signature front fascia was evident, with a large horizontal grille and four round headlights borrowed from the classic XJS. The rear featured twin tailpipes and signature Jaguar taillights, maintaining the brand's luxury appeal. Despite its shared platform with the Mondeo, the X-Type set itself apart with more powerful engine options and a standard four-wheel-drive system, making it an attractive option for those in need of performance and stability, particularly in wet or snowy conditions.
Driving the X-Type was a joy, as its precise steering and strong grip in corners made it an enjoyable car to drive. The interior was luxurious, featuring high-quality materials such as leather-wrapped bucket seats, a premium sound system, and automatic air-conditioning, ensuring that the X-Type offered a refined experience inside.
However, despite its appeal, the X-Type faced stiff competition from well-established rivals like the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. These competitors offered similar features, but they also provided more interior space, especially for taller passengers who found the X-Type's cabin a bit cramped.
