Overview & Reviews

This year there are only minor changes to the X-Type. The smaller 2.5-liter V6 has been dropped from the lineup, leaving the 3.0-liter V6 as the only engine available. Jaguar has also made the five-speed automatic transmission standard equipment and discontinued the manual gearbox option. Remaining changes are purely cosmetic, such as a new chrome-mesh grille and updated wheel designs. Bluetooth wireless connectivity and Sirius Satellite Radio are new options this year.

• Comfortable highway ride, standard all-wheel drive, large trunk, classic Jaguar styling.

• Soft handling, not enough low-end torque, downmarket cabin materials detract from luxury ambience, tight rear-seat entry, no manual transmission available.

  What A Car - 2006 Jaguar X-Type
  By Paul Worthington - June 8 - 3:50 am

  When I pulled out of showroom and got this car on the expressway, I never realized a driving experience quite like this. Wow. Now I know why I always wanted to own one. This is no Caddy or Lincoln.

  New 06 Jag - 2006 Jaguar X-Type
  By LJ - May 29 - 5:43 pm

  Traded in a 2002 Sport 2.5 for loaded 3.0. The build quality is quite a bit better than the 02. It has a very a beautiful Zircon metallic paint with a chrome mesh grill that turns heads wherever we go. Looks like a much more expensive car than it is. Its a powerful car coupled with a dynamic AWD.

  FUN to drive! - 2006 Jaguar X-Type
  By Roger Henslee - February 25 - 1:46 pm

  Before I bought this car, I had heard some negative things about Jaguar quality. After test driving the car, I fell in love with it. I opted for the 3 L upgraded engine which has something like 250hp, and is very quick in this size car. The handling is super, braking great and stylish inside. This car is very nice for the price! Negatives are the seat belt buckles which are plastic.. This car has had no problems at all ad seems a perfect mix of styling, perfomance and price. Another good thing is it is owned by Ford and made in Britian(I dont want to buy anything from the Germans since their lack of support for the USA)

  X type, XJ looks at a K- Mart price - 2006 Jaguar X-Type
  By thebobs - November 17 - 11:40 am

  A great road eating machine. Why the bad reviews? The car transforms from a blvd. cruiser for my wife to a true sports sedan with a touch of the "S" button and the help of VVT for me. The AWD is great in both wet and dry conditions. I drove the car 226 miles in heavey rain, wind and fog. The AWD made the trip fell like it was a sunny day.The rear fog lights that are three time brighter then regular tail lights made me fell safer since I could be seen at a greater distance Very comfortable on long trips.I have had no problems since day one, everything was perfect.The large 4 weel dual piston disk brakes with ABS stop the car on a dime. Real wood in the cabin. Great leather seats. Love the car

  Fun and classy - 2006 Jaguar X-Type
  By Sue Abbarno - October 8 - 1:53 pm

  This is my 2nd X-Type. Suspension is improved from 2002 model, and the additional front cup holder is convenient; the memory seat is handy. This car is loaded with features. I love the leather interior and wood trim. Fun to drive.

  The Class with the Flash... - 2006 Jaguar X-Type
  By Gary Brint - March 4 - 9:03 am

  Fun to drive. Will come out of the hole like a boy dog. Stand flat footed and jump a 5 strand barb wire fence. All of that and then some. Will be trading my wifes new Caddy in on one of these new breeds of X-Cat so that she will have one as well. We both loved our first two XJ-6s but these X-3s are the ultimate driving machines. There is only one way to look at it - when in doubt, take the Jag.

  $350 hood emblem! - 2006 Jaguar X-Type
  By lcatchpo - February 6 - 7:23 am

  Not once but twice Ive had the hood emblem stolen. Ill never own another Jaguar because of this. They could at least have mounted it differently instead of putting a spring inside. Its such a shame because this car is really a dream car. Luxurious and sporty and affordable but youll need the savings to replace your emblem every few months.

  Second X-Type in 2 years. Very happy with the interior rich look. Outside is styled well. A great car for the 35k price range.
