The X-Type continues as jaguar's entry-level car for 2006. This compact executive car was introduced in 2001, and was aimed to attract more potential buyers to the Jaguar lot. The X-Type is styled similarly to the classic XJ sedan, but it can be had for just more than half the price of the flagship.
There are two models available for this model year: the 3.0L Sedan and 3.0L Sportwagon. The smaller 2.5 liter engine has been dropped, along with the manual transmission. The grille and wheels designs have also been revised.
The both models are equipped with what Jag owners would expect. Standard features include leather seating, wood trim, full power accessories, a power driver's seat, and automatic climate control. The Sportwagon costs a bit more than the sedan, and adds a moon roof. The sedan has 16-inch wheels, and the wagon wears seventeens. Bluetooth connectivity and Sirius are new options this year. Other upgrades include the Sport Package (stiffer suspension, 17-inch wheels, HID headlights) and the VDP Edition (premium Alpine audio upgrade, seat piping, heated seats, rain-sensing wipers). A navigation system is also available.
The 3.0 liter V-6 delivers 227 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque, and is teamed with a five speed automatic transmission. Both models are full time all-wheel drive.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Jaguar X-TYPE appreciate its luxurious feel, stylish design, and powerful V6 engine. Many highlight its comfort and build quality, making it a great value compared to more expensive luxury cars. However, some drivers note concerns about stability, particularly in the sport model, and a lack of practical features like a left foot rest in the automatic version."
I have had since new and done 60k miles in it untroubled. Only gripe is I have an automatic and there is no left foot rest. Hardly the worst thing in the world. I was due to replace my car in Jan but decided against it as I like this car so much.
August 17, 2009the car is a great value. built like other more expensive jags
March 8, 2021I had a chance to drive this car because my Land Rover broke down, so my dealer rented this for me (completely free!!). I had never drove a Jaguar before but first impression are rather good. It's comfy and the build quality is super. Very powerful V6 and much more features than you would expect..
