The Jaguar X-Type offers the best of both worlds: Jaguar’s prestige, class, and luxury, combined with reasonable pricing. Even in the crowded used car market, this car stands out with its refined engine, luxurious interiors, and host of safety and driver assistance systems. The used Jaguar X-type can be purchased as a luxury sedan or in a super-practical station wagon avatar. Before purchasing the used Jaguar X-Type, here are some of the car’s key aspects:

Exterior and interior
The exterior design of the X-Type is functional as well as attractive. With its twin circular headlamps, an understated grille, sleek sedan silhouette, stubby boot, and beautiful alloy wheels, the car exudes a sense of luxury in its sedan and wagon forms. Despite the car’s age (launched in 2001), its elegant exterior design retains a sense of occasion.
Speaking of the car’s interiors, the car’s dashboard may remind many of the old XJ and XK8 as it, like those other high-end Jaguars, heavily features wood and hard plastic on its central console and controls. Even though the interior design of the used Jaguar X-Type may feel slightly dated and the material quality a bit off, the car is full of ergonomic touches and luxurious design on the inside.
Before purchasing the used Jaguar X-Type, buyers are recommended to check whether its electronic controls, air-conditioning knobs, power windows, and seat adjusters are functioning seamlessly.
Sedan and wagon avatars of the used Jaguar X-Type can seat four adults comfortably. The seats are soft, well-shaped, and adequately supportive of their occupants. However, squeezing a fifth full-sized can be challenging and uncomfortable for the back seat occupants.
The sedan and wagon variants of the Jaguar X-Type come with a spacious trunk. The wagon’s trunk space varies from 15.7 cubic feet and 50 cubic feet. The X-Type sedan has a trunk space of 16 cubic feet.

Engine and fuel economy
The Jaguar X-Type sedan and wagon come with an extensive list of engine options to choose from. One can purchase the vehicle with a 2.1-liter (159 HP power/148 lb-ft torque), 2.5-liter (197 HP/178 lb-ft), or 3.0-liter (234 HP/206 lb-ft) V6 petrol engine or a 2.0-liter (131 HP/243 lb-ft) or 2.2-liter (155 HP/266 lb-ft) diesel engine. All these engines are mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 3.0-liter V6 comes with a 5-speed automatic gearbox.
The top speeds of the 2.1-liter, 2.5-liter, and 3.0-liter petrol variants have top speeds of 130 mph, 137 mph, and 144 mph, respectively, and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 9.4, 8.3, and 7.5 seconds respectively. The top speeds of the 2.0-liter and 2.2-liter diesel variants are 124.9 and 136.7 mph, and they can go from 0 to 62 mph in 9.9 and 8.9 seconds, respectively.
In terms of fuel economy, the three petrol engines return 25.6 mpg (2.1-liter model), 24.5 mpg (2.5-liter model), and 22.8 mpg (3.0-liter model), respectively. The diesel engines are more fuel efficient and return 42 mpg (2.0-liter model) and 39.2 mpg (2.2-liter model), and are combined economy (city+highway) figures.

Features and safety equipment
The used Jaguar X-type features leather seats, 3-way memorized driver seat settings, 8-way power passenger seats, stability control, traction control, 4-wheel ABS, and dusk-sensing automatic headlamps. These features are available on the top-of-the-line 3.0-liter petrol-engined models from 2008.

Variants and prices
For a used Jaguar X-Type, the prices range from $3,800 to $9,900 for vehicles ranging from 35,000 miles to close to 200,000 miles. These prices are dynamic.
