2009 Jaguar X-Type gets mild refresh
The Jaguar X-Type was always considered a joke since the day it was released. It drives well enough, it looks great, and it even improved its reliability record over the years. But its price combined with the fact that it is simply a reworked Ford Mondeo was enough to spell disaster for what was supposed to be Jag’s volume model. Unlike the S-Type-to-XF transformation, the X-Type gets a minor refresh to keep it going until it is killed eventually.
Changes are limited to accessories, cabin trim and styling, although Jaguar claims there are as many as 500 changes. Umm, yeah.

The much criticised X type is actually very good - econimical diesel (and green) as well as a high quality interior coupled with good looks - especially the estate, which is much better than the BMW 3 series. I have done over 50,000 trouble free miles and have had BMW / audi’s before but the charm of the Jaguar gets by Vote. Looking forward to seeinf the face lift but hanker for the XF - who with red blood doesn’t!
