Jaguar has unveiled its refreshed X-Type for the 2009 model year. Based on the same car that was originally introduced in 2001, the X-Type’s restyle is modest but offers a fresher look. While changes aren’t significant, Jaguar claims the 2008 X-Type boasts over 500 all-new components.
Perhaps the biggest news for the 2008 X-Type is that the 2.2L diesel can now be equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission. The exterior receives new bumpers and alloy wheels with the interior getting more trim and equipment options.
“The new X-TYPE stands for accessibility, versatility, luxury and choice within the Jaguar range “, said CJ O’Donnell, Global Marketing Director, Jaguar Cars.”The package of revisions – particularly the automatic transmission in the 2.2 diesel – presents our established dealers and the key emerging markets with an excellent opportunity to reach new customers and retain existing owners.”
The new X-TYPE goes on sale in the UK in March 2008 and in other European markets in April 2008.
