The Jaguar X-Type is a car built by British marque Jaguar from 2001 to 2009. Considered a large family car in Europe and a compact car in the US,[1][2] the X-Type has either a four-door saloon or a five-door estate body style and was sold in the compact-executive market segment.[3][4] Given the internal designation X400,[citation needed] its engine is in the front and there are front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants. In addition to offering Jaguar's first estate car 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.[5] At launch, Autocar called the X-Type "the most important Jaguar ever".[6]
With annual projections of 100,000 sales, the X-Type recorded a production of 350,000 over its eight-year manufacturing run.[7]
