2002 JAGUAR X-Type C230 1.8K

This new entry-level offering from Jaguar debuted in 2002, showcasing the union between Ford and its new subsidiary. The X-Type sedan is built on the Ford Mondeo platform, and only 10% of all parts and components actually originate from Jaguar. Over 20% are Ford-produced. The X-Type is also the most affordable Jaguar ever, in real dollars. The X-Type is surprisingly light for a Jag, at just 3400 pounds, and that power supply is sufficient for a respectable 0 to 60 mph mark of 7.1 seconds. Fuel economy is estimated at 19/28 mpg. A 3.0 liter V-6, which generates 231 horsepower and 209 pound-feet of torque and the 3.0 liter version gets a five-speed automatic. Both models could be described as Jaguar-esque with respect to standard features, but Ford's influence is very evident both inside and out. Standard equipment includes keyless entry, an anti-theft system, steering wheel audio controls, full power accessories, heated mirrors, wood trim, leather upholstery, automatic climate control and a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob. Some components are obvious Ford products, but many reviewers still attest to an overall upscale feel. The X-Type also earns solid marks for handling and drivability, and was set apart as the only Jaguar with AWD and a 5 speed automatic transmission in 2002. You will love the sure footed feel of this in any season. Print this page and join the elite by calling us NOW for your appointment.
