X-type Saloons

Production years: 2001 - 2009

The first time Jaguar had produced a small saloon to cater for a younger and much wider audience, the X-type was also a two-edged sword catering for those who wanted a less expensive Jaguar and those who wanted to downsize from a larger model.

 

With the benefit of Ford ownership Jaguar needed to widen its appeal in a similar manner to BMW with a whole range of saloons to suit different markets and age groups. The X-type built on that with the benefit of the Ford parts bin for many items, yet retained typical Jaguar styling and interior ambience.

 

Initially launched in 2001 as a 2.5 litre and 3.0 litre V6 petrol engined models (using the same engines as the S-type), the X-types benefitted from all wheel drive, another first for the company. Later additional engines included front wheel drive 2.0 litre petrol in 2002, 2,0 litre diesel in 2003, plus a 2.2 litre diesel in 2005, the latter with a 6-speed manual transmission. Launched as a four door four-seater saloon, in 2004 an estate version widened the appeal further as the first such production vehicle produced by Jaguar. Special editions were produced throughout the period and the models only went out of production in 2008, not to be replaced until the introduction of the XE in 2015.

Agreed values

We have a number of highly-qualified experts who can inspect your vehicle prior to purchase and provide you with a full written report. In addition to their complete understanding of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of vehicle inspection, they have extensive experience with the Jaguar marque which perfectly equips them to identify the unique requirements of specific models and years, something that is particularly important for older cars.

The cost of an inspection begins at £100, with the final figure determined by the time needed and the distance the inspector is required to travel. We can guarantee that your inspection will be cheaper than an equivalent AA or RAC inspection.

This small upfront outlay could save you thousands in the long term.

To arrange an inspection simply call JEC Head Office on 0117 969 8186 and they will provide you with details of your nearest inspector.

Also from our club HQ in Bristol we can give you an official valuation for insurance purposes. Our valuations are accepted by all leading insurance brokers and Companies.

Simply call 0117 969 8186 for details

GETTING STARTED

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Insurance is designed specifically for members of the JEC. That’s why it covers JEC TrackSport events and offers cover for JEC Young Enthusiasts. Furthermore, the scheme recognises that members may have a combination of newer and more historic Jaguars and so the scheme caters for all, other individually or part of a multi-vehicle offering.

Club insurance doesn’t operate the way standard insurance does. While it does still take a vehicle’s mechanical characteristics into account, it also places a lot of emphasis on how the vehicle is used, cared for and maintained.

Club insurance also offers a host of benefits and products that you simply cannot get outside of membership of the JEC, such as member to member cover for example. This enables you to drive your friends Jaguars at regional meets, events and on tours with fully comprehensive cover and without the need to complete more paperwork or ring up and incur costs for adding named drivers.

This way, you’ll be comfortable knowing that you have a policy that fits your vehicle and your usage needs perfectly.
