2006 Jaguar X-Type Highlights

"Jaguar's smallest, least-expensive line consists of sedans and wagons, both with standard all-wheel drive. X-Types have a 227-hp V6 and automatic transmission. ABS, front side airbags, head-protecting curtain side airbags, and driver knee airbag are standard. Also included is leather-and-wood interior trim. A Sport Package for the sedan adds a sport suspension and unique trim inside and out. Heated front seats, antiskid system, navigation system, and rear-obstacle detection are optional on all models."
2006 Jaguar X-Type News

"Back in 1999, Jaguar set out to boost its yearly worldwide sales beyond 200,000. The entry-level X-Type was key to that goal. But the X-Type was seen in many quarters as just a gussied up European Ford, and it has never sold as expected. As a result, Jaguar managed only 120,000 worldwide sales in 2004, about where it was when the X-Type launched in '01. Worse, the X-Type effectively made Jaguar's operations less efficient. The added overhead has combined with continuing weak sales and a falling dollar to create huge losses--a hefty $1.1 billion in 2003 alone.
With all this, some sources feel the X-Type will be dropped after 2007 and not redesigned as scheduled. Apparently, some Jaguar insiders are against another entry-level sedan, instead favoring an iconic, image-boosting 2-seat coupe or convertible. The only problem is money. Though parent Ford Motor Company has promised to pump in more cash to turn Jaguar around, it's unclear whether funds would exist for a new fourth model line. Tune in tomorrow--or at least keep checking with us--for the next chapter of Britain's most famous automotive soap opera. Meanwhile, we don't see the X-Type changing much, if at all."

2006 Jaguar X-Type Write Ups
 

Acceleration
"Class competitive. Test sedan did 7.6 sec 0-60. Engine not satisfyingly strong below 4000 rpm, while transmission's tardy downshifts frustrate response in the 40-55-mph range."

Value
"The X-Type is an acceptable blend of performance and luxury, and it comes with the all-weather capability of all-wheel drive. The addition of a wagon enhances its appeal. X-Type offers Jaguar cachet, but top rivals offer better all-around cars."

Ride
"Takes bumps as a solid unit, stable at speed, befitting sports/luxury positioning. Base suspension comfortably absorbs bad pavement with 16-inch tires. Test car with 17-inch tires suffered wheel patter and some impact harshness. Firmer still with sport suspension and 18-inch wheels, but not uncomfortable."

Economy
"Test sedans averaged 19.0 in mixed city/highway driving, 21.4 in mostly highway travel. No opportunity to measure wagon. Jaguar recommends premium-grade fuel."

Noise
"Wind rush impressively low. Obvious road noise with 18-inch tires. Under full throttle, the V6 growls nicely."

Comfort - Front
"Adequate 6-footer head room. Standard tilt/telescope steering wheel helps set comfortable driving position. Front seats narrower and softer than the European norm but have good support. Smartly sized mirrors contribute to fine outward visibility, despite tallish cowl."

Comfort - Rear
"As much usable space as any direct rival. Seat cushion too soft for best support, and narrow doorways compromise entry/exit."

Controls
"Unobstructed instrumentation. Low-mounted audio controls require driver to look away from road. Navigation system no picnic to program, and incorporating some climate and audio functions monopolizes driver attention. Automatic transmission has Jaguar's J-shaped gate selector, which some testers fault for imprecise action and difficulty of use in manual mode. Standard leather and wood strive for an upscale cabin ambience, but some of the plastics disappoint."

Cargo Room
"At 16 cu ft, sedan trunk is among largest in class. Low liftover and nonintrusive strut hinges enhance versatility, but Jaguar charges extra for a folding rear seatback on sedans. Sportwagon increases cargo space, but has average capacity for a wagon in class."
