Jaguar X Type 2.0D S Diesel Estate...

The five-door version of the X-Type was Jaguar's first ever estate car and thanks to excellent refinement and a good-size boot, it's usefully practical. It may not have the wide range of engines alternatives like the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class offer, but does have strong diesels including the excellent 2.0-litre unit. The ride quality is superb and it's well built too, but the rather traditional Jaguar looks mean it's not always a popular choice with younger drivers. In 2008 it was revised with bolder front and rear bumpers, but while it's not a bad car, the X-Type Estate, like the saloon, fails to reach the high benchmark set by the German premium makes.

Diesel is by far the most popular engine choice in the X-Type Estate. Two are available - both sourced from Ford - the first a 130bhp 2.0-litre engine which offers decent pace and impressive refinement while returning 49mpg. A 2.2-litre with 155bhp was launched in 2005 and almost matches the 2.0-litre for fuel economy, but feels much livelier and sprints from 0-62mph in 9.3 seconds - around a second quicker. In March 2008 this version was offered with an automatic transmission for the first time and the six-speed gearbox is exceptionally smooth. The Sport mode improves responsiveness ensuring it feels keen accelerating out of slower corners, and there is also a manual mode using the gearstick.
