2007 Jaguar X-Type Sedan

Vehicle Summary: 2007 Jaguar X-Type Sedan

The Jaguar X-Type has a posh overall look, an attractive level of standard equipment, all-wheel drive and great brand cachet. However, the compact sedan never has lived down the fact that it shares some of its DNA with more-pedestrian Ford models. Saddled with a poor reputation for reliability, the X-Type is probably a lame duck that might not survive past the end of the present model generation, around 2009.

More Kitten than Cat

The compact Jaguar X-Type Sedan receives only minor updates as it heads for a possible phase out toward the end of the decade.

Highs

Standard AWD system normally splits power on a 40/60 front-to-rear basis for livelier dry-road handling
Well equipped
Capable handling with a fairly smooth ride

Lows

Lackluster sales mean low resale values
Cramped backseat
Despite the brand, not a true luxury car or top-tier sport sedan
Must step hard on the gas to get up to speed

What's New

Premium Sound system available as a stand-alone option
Dynamic Stability Control, power moonroof and split-fold rear seat now standard
Luxury Package newly offered
