The Jaguar X-TYPE gets a fresh look for 2008, along with a host of new features inside and outside the vehicle and a new automatic transmission in the acclaimed 2.2 diesel.
With significant revisions including nearly 500 new components, the new generation X-TYPE retains all the original car’s strengths, and adds some new ones of its own. “The new X-TYPE stands for accessibility, versatility, luxury and choice within the Jaguar range”, explained CJ O’Donnell, Global Marketing Director, Jaguar Cars. “The package of revisions – particularly the automatic transmission in the 2.2 diesel – presents our established dealers and the key emerging markets with an excellent opportunity to reach new customers and retain existing owners.” The new X-TYPE’s exterior styling is significantly refreshed – with changes that reflect some of Jaguar’s new saloon car design language – with subtle interior revisions and greater choice of trim and equipment, further emphasising the X-TYPE’s premium car credentials.
For the first time in this model range, the new X-TYPE now offers the combination of diesel power with automatic transmission – pairing the 2.2 litre diesel with a six-speed automatic, and the one-touch control of Jaguar Sequential Shift – broadening the new model’s appeal to buyers who previously could not have this combination in an X-TYPE. The new X-TYPE automatic diesel combines high levels of refinement with optimised performance and economy, and promises more choice and even greater luxury, to appeal especially to a younger, more family-orientated audience.
Available in saloon and estate variants, the new X-TYPE goes on sale in the UK in March 2008, and in other European markets from April 2008. In addition to the 2.2 Diesel, the X-TYPE is available with 2.0 Diesel, 2.0 V6 petrol, 2.5 V6 petrol and 3.0 V6 petrol engines (dependent on market).
