2002 jaguar x-type review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Compact and affordable, but it's all jag. introductionjaguar has introduced an all-new sedan for 2002 called the x-type. Starting at $29,950, the x-type is a major step downward in price for a jaguar, and a big step upward in mass appeal. It's elegant, comfortable, and fun to drive. a new competitor in the tough foyer of compact luxury sedans, the x-type is designed to compete with the bmw 3 series, mercedes-benz c-class, audi a4, and, to some extent, the lexus is 300. The new jaguar compares favorably to these highly competent cars in performance figures, while offering a distinct difference in feel and temperament. No question, the jaguar x-type is a serious player. No, and those dyed-in-the-green types at jaguar couldn't either. Thus the x-type has all-wheel drive - a happy state that would probably not have come about had designers started with a clean sheet of paper. In reality, only about 20 percent of the x-type has any connection to the mondeo. the x-type is clearly a jaguar, which will delight jaguar's many female fans. If anything, the x-type might be a little too self-conscious in staking out its claim to jaguarness with its abundance of family cues. The x-type's appearance is more like the lordly xj than the more retro s-type, which was jaguar's first (and successful) effort to broaden its customer base. the problem facing the x-type designers: make a relatively short car look low and long. And by golly they did it, using lots of horizontal lines, body sculpting and a high-tailed wedge shape, though the wedge is more obvious in photographs than in person. Though the x-type is some seven inches shorter than the s-type, the illusion is generally successful. It looks big on the road. the front view is broadened with two sets of side-by-side round lights flanking jaguar's traditional horizontal split grille. The design of the grille and headlamps with fluting that sweeps back over the hood make the x-type look like a baby xj. It looks more conservative than the s-type with its unique round grille. This aspect of the x-type looks particularly auspicious when seen in a rearview mirror. Riding the hood is the traditional bounding jaguar known as the 'leaper.' (such hood ornaments are outlawed in europe, so the x-types there will make do with the flat, full-faced jaguar known as the 'growler.') the visual stance of the x-type is not affected by the all-wheel-drive system. This is a ground-loving vehicle that makes the eye believe it is longer and lower than it is and bigger as well. What seemed to me at first to be a busy-ness about the indents, many horizontal lines and visual cues of jaguarness faded with on-going exposure into acceptance and even appreciation. Anyway, the car looks better on the road than it does in a showroom. Moral: don't cling overlong to first impressions. interiorthis is a real jag on the inside, too. Jaguar's leather and bird's-eye maple are done as well as it was in the days when those luxury touches were not added to every model on the road. The wood in the sport package has a distinctive grayed darkness, rather like weathered wood; it is genuine bird's-eye maple that has been pre-stained a gray color. the standard seats are quite good, supportive and comfortable, and they can be adjusted every which way. Aggressive side bolstering is added with the sport package, which is appropriate for more aggressive driving. Side bolstering requires more effort when getting in and out of the seat, however, so the sport package is best left for those who love spirited roadwork. We had no trouble flinging the car around with the standard seats. the cabin has a spacious feel with outward visibility enhanced by the slimness of the pillars. With the elevation of the driver's seat easily adjustable, drivers of varying heights have an excellent forward view over the hood. The rearview mirrors are particularly generous in size. I like this large exposure aft ward, but at city intersections the mirror can hide a pedestrian stepping down from a curb. Diligence and a little head movement are called for. All the switchgear operates intuitively. Only one cup holder is provided, however. Lots of stowage adds to the convenience, but the center console is small. in addition to dual-stage frontal airbags, the x-type features front and rear side curtain airbags, the first jaguar to do so. Not that there is any evident 'feminization' but rather such things as placing all the controls within easy reach and providing a steering wheel that tilts and telescopes, allowing her to adjust perfectly to the car. Many different body types will find a comfortable home in the x-type. The trunk is big, something that can't be said for all jaguars. With 16 cubic feet of trunk space, the x-type can carry more cargo than the big xj sedan. The x-type's boot is comparable to the impressive trunk on the audi a4 and vastly superior to the trunk on the bmw 3 series. To reduce the chance of driver distraction, destinations cannot be programmed while underway. driving impressionthe x-type sets new standards for rigidity of structure. This translates into a car that's got its intentions focused on serious matters: running smoothly and quietly and taking to corners like a cat to ice cream. We put the x-type through demanding paces in the spaghetti roads of rural france near dijon and on the winding roads north of atlanta, georgia. Narrow, often high-crowned pavement in france followed the wandering ways of long-ago farm animals over the varied terrain. Polished by the rain, it was a dedicated driver's dream. The dampness was simply erased by the all-wheel-drive system, which offered comforting security. the brakes, particularly the brembos in the sport package x-type, were authoritative and reliable. We have taken to thinking of them as autobahn brakes, able to slow the car from high speeds. Using the brakes repeatedly revealed no problems. engine torque is spread over a power curve in that desirable mesa shape. The 3. 0-liter engine doesn't have the edge of a bmw, but the jaguar's power is there early at the launch and accessible over a wide range of speeds. A car like this somehow feels more powerful than it really is because there is never that questing need for more oomph at a critical moment. the weight of the 2. 5-liter and 3. 0-liter x-type models is identical, regardless of engine size. The 2. 5-liter engine provides good power when paired with the five-speed manual transmission; it sometimes feels a bit underpowered when paired with the automatic transmission. The 3. 0-liter engine delivers quicker acceleration per. Power Windows✔ Sport Package✔ Sunroof/Moonroof✔ Navigation System✔ Alloy Wheels
