Super TestCar reviews - Jaguar - X-Type - 2.5 Sport sedanJaguar modelsPlan Views12 Feb 2002 CAN this truly be a Jaguar? Transverse engine layout, V6, four-wheel drive. Jaguar purists must shudder over their Cognacs just contemplating the prospect. But necessity is the mother of invention in this case. The X-Type is based on the same platform as the much more mundane Ford Mondeo, which is a front-driver. Faced with that option, Jaguar elected to connect drive to the rear as well, and set the car up to feel like a rear-drive. However, they haven't resisted the fwd temptation for long, announcing an X-Type two-litre front-driver late in 2001. Shock, horror!
