Jaguar X-Type (код кузова - X400) - компактный престижный автомобиль, производившийся в 2001-2009 годах британским автопроизводителем Jaguar Cars. Модель была наименьшей в линейке Jaguar и производилась с кузовами седан и универсал, причём модель X-Type был единственным серийно производимым универсалом компании.
The Jaguar X-Type is a front-engine, all-wheel/front-wheel drive compact executive car manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 2001 to 2009 under the internal designation X400, for a single generation, in sedan/saloon and wagon/estate body styles. In addition to offering Jaguar's first station wagon/estate in series production, the X-Type would ultimately introduce its first diesel engine, four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive configuration.
The X-Type was developed during the period when Jaguar was owned by Ford as a division of its Premier Automotive Group (PAG) (1999-2009) - and marked Jaguar's entry into the critical compact executive segment. The programme aimed to double the marque's worldwide sales - requiring expansion of engineering resources, factory capacity, marketing capability, sales support and service.[1] At launch, Autocar called the X-Type "the most important Jaguar ever."[2]
With annual projections of 100,000 sales, the X-Type recorded a production of 350,000 over its eight year manufacturing run.[3]
