The Jaguar X-Type was a compact executive car manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 2001 to 2009 in a single generation under the internal designation ''X400''. Manufactured at the Halewood Assembly Facility near Liverpool, the X-Type was developed during Jaguar's tenure in the Premier Automotive Group (PAG) of Ford Motor Company — and was based on a modified version of the Ford CD132 platform. The smallest of the Jaguar model range, the X-Type was marketed in sedan/saloon and wagon/estate variants, and was the first estate manufactured in series production by the company. ==Description== The Jaguar X-Type, codenamed ''X400'',〔(BBC News 6 January 1998 )〕 was launched in October 2001 as Jaguar's first compact executive car since the Jaguar Mark 2 of 1955. The X-Type was one of the last to be styled under the supervision of Geoff Lawson, with Wayne Burgess as principal designer.〔Jaguar Expands the 2005 X-Type Range with three new models, MediaFord.com, 1 August 2004, (), accessed 3 Aug 2008〕 The four-door saloon was launched in 2001 and in 2004 the five-door estate joined the range with production of both versions ending in 2009. The estate was officially marketed as the "Sportwagon” in the United States and was the first Jaguar model designed by Ian Callum. Initially, the X-Type was only available with all-wheel-drive and either a 2.5 litre or 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine. In 2002, an entry-level 2.1 litre V6 front-wheel-drive model was added. All three engines were available with either five-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmissions. The X-Type grille was slightly modified for both the 2004 and 2006 model years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jaguar X-Type」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
