It is the smallest Jaguar to be built and is expected to double Jaguar s sales within two years, targeting a younger audience and women drivers. Options include a touch-screen multimedia system, while the car has the biggest amount of boot space ever in a Jaguar and a range of security and safety equipment. It challenges existing perceptions of Jaguar, broadening the appeal and the accessibility of the marque, and it drives forward our ambitious growth strategy which began with the launch of the S-TYPE in 1998. Today, Jaguar is selling more cars in more markets than ever before, and X-TYPE is targeted with helping us double sales once again. The automatic option can be switched between normal and sport driving modes.
Cruise control is optional on all models.
Chief engineer Mike Cross said the driving experience was like fine wine a mixture of art and science. The car s outstanding combination of agility and refinement stems from a blend of advanced engineering and intuitive know-how, with each individual component having an influence on the ride and handling. So to achieve the perfect balance we carried out a great deal of testing and fine-tuning. You could say it s a little bit like making a fine wine part science, part art. This allows finger-tip control of climate, audio and navigation systems, and television tuner and telephone.
