One of the last of the proper Jaguar cars to retain their traditional design language, and very economical on diesel, but satisfyingly quick and responsive to drive.

Not a lot of the X400 X-Type models to be seen on the road these days.
Lots of money invested into this car, have all the bills and receipts.

Please make your best offer.
Would also be interested in swapping with a Crew-Cab Mercedes-Benz ML/ GL, Range Rover Vogue, Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg of similar value. I am otherwise a Mercedes-benz and Land Rover person, so this Jaguar was acquired for an acquaintance 3 years ago. But then they had changed their mind and I ended up with a great daily driver.
As I have been driving it around, got to realise a lot of facts about it, that it is a very underrated car and doesn't get the credit that it deserves;

1. It's the first and the last Jaguar to feature a transverse front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive layout.
2. The first Jaguar to feature a 4-cylinder engine.
3. The last car preferred by Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth, before she became unwell.
4. The very last proper Jaguar to feature it's traditional design language and a very reliable engine and gearbox. The untrained eyes would very easily mistake the X-Type X400 for an XJ X350.
5. One of the last retro-designed future classics one could own.

The V6 petrol engines were developed by Yamaha for Mazda Motorsports and consequently during the Ford-Mazda collaboration, those engines appeared in a lot of iconic Fords and then the Jaguar X-Type X-400. But contrary to what a lot of people say, this car has very little in common with the Ford Mondeo Mk. 2.

During the very last few years of it's production, in order to increase the sales in Europe, between 2007 and 2009, they were also sold with the Ford 2. 0 litre and 2. 2 litre 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engines. These engines had also featured in the Ford Mondeo and Transit, and the Land Rover Freelander.

Those L4 turbo-diesel engines when tuned, would produce higher horsepower and torque figures compared to the petrol V6 engines, and also returned great fuel-mileage, thus becoming a favourite amongst tuners and enthusiasts.

The production ceased in 2009 but the very last examples were still being sold until 2012.
