What does Edmunds.com Say?

“Priced to compete with the entry-luxury offerings from Audi, BMW and Mercedes, the all-wheel-drive X-Type falls short in most areas, from driving dynamics to cabin furnishings. It's only worth considering if you've got to have a Jaguar.”

The Pros and Cons from Edmunds.com

Pros
Comfortable highway ride, attractive styling inside and out, standard all-wheel drive, large trunk.

Cons
Doesn't handle as well as competitors, engines short on torque, low-grade interior materials, some hard-to-use controls, tight entry to rear seat, gets expensive with options.

Safety
In government crash testing, the X-Type earned four out of five stars in all frontal and side-impact categories. In frontal offset crash testing, it received a "Good" rating (the best possible).

A full complement of safety features is provided by the X-Type, including seat-mounted side airbags for front occupants, side curtain airbags for front and rear passengers and four-wheel antilock disc brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. Stability control is optional.
