Jaguar used cars like the X-Type were first brought to market in 2002. Jaguar decided it needed to be in the small luxury sedan segment and wanted to increase their overall worldwide sales. Jaguar saw how popular the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes C-Class was doing with the public and knew they had to break into this area of the car market. Even thou in 2002 it was Jaguar's bestselling vehicle worldwide, it could never reach Jaguar's excepted goal of selling over 100,000 units a year. In 2007 Jaguar stop making the popular X-type because there wasn't enough demand.

Jaguar X-Type used cars:
Jaguar at the time was owned by the Ford Motor Company and decided that the Jaguar X-Type would be base on the Ford European made Mondeo. This was a very popular midsize car only sold in Europe. Ford thought by basing the X-Type on the Mondeo it could keep costs relatively low. You had two choices of Jaguar X-Type's to choose from. There is a 2.5litre, 192 horsepower V6 engine, or a 3.0litre 227 horsepower engine that also has a V6 engine.
Jaguar's X-Type 2.5litre had two options, either a five-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual option. Jaguar's 3.0litre engine also came in either a five-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual option. Both versions come in all-wheel drive. In 2006 Jaguar stop making the X-type 2.5litre engine and then in 2007 Jaguar decided to scrap the vehicle altogether from its entire line up.
