Thank you so much for reviewing my baby!!! Love my Jag Wag. 🏎️

When I was in England in 2019 it was very common to see wagons, or as they call them there "estates". I wish we had more here.

This is a really good looking car. Very common in UK back in the time. Racing green on the outside and beige on the inside is the winning bid IMHO. Interesting fact: many people disliked this car because it was made on the ford mondeo platform. Never understood what was wrong about that. Thank you for the videos!

"Station wagons have never really been our cup of tea." The 50's, 60's, 70's and early 80's would disagree with you. When I was a kid (60's and 70's) there were tons of wagons around. The minivan and SUV pretty much took over the wagon market in the 80's and beyond.

These are gonna be a gem to import from England in 8 years

I never seen this station wagon. Spectacular shape

3:56 - The shifter isn't some era - it's the well-known "J-gate" shifter layout that was in Jaguars for ages.

I have one of these! In black over black, with the nav and Alpine audio. Just passed 200k miles. The autos aren't great (they really need regular servicing), a manual would completely change the character of the car, that's my one big gripe with it. The AWD system is actually rear biased, which is odd since the engine is transversely mounted. The engines love to rev and honestly sound really good once the variable intake runner valves actuate, the VVT engages, etc.... They sound amazing with a slightly more aggressive muffler and possibly an intake. Zack I implore you to find one with the manual and really wring it out, they'll move and hold corners like almost no other transverse fwd-based vehicle I've experienced (especially if you find a Sport Pkg car with the sports suspension), the auto just really dampens the whole experience Also to the owner of this car: Service the trans sooner rather than later and replace the lug nuts ASAP. I would also consider servicing the transfer case for peace of mind... They only hold like half a cup of fluid, so if they run low or cook the fluid... transfer case goes boom. Switching the brakes to a lower viscosity fluid (I used Bosch ESI6) helps the traction control on these later cars really engage a lot harder and quicker... 04+ cars have essentially an open center diff and rely on the traction control to vary power front to rear and side to side unlike the early cars which used a viscous coupling like an old Subaru... The 04+ cars are essentially 1 Wheel Drive if the traction control system is inop or you turn it off

Love this sort of content. Used cars that we just don't see often.

I never knew that was even a thing, but now I want one!

That thing is mint. I will say though the USA definitely used to love wagons. From the 1950-90s wagons were everywhere. I wish they would make a return tbh

That thing is just as rare as my 2012 Acura TSX WAGON. At least this one is a V6. Wish my TSX had the option to get the V6.

Her Majesty the Queen used to drive a BRG one

You didn't mention that this was based on the Ford Mondeo, which made most people dislike the car without even trying it out. That resulted in the X-Type not selling well, which is one reason why they are not popular these days.

Rare here but I've seen a few over in Europe that's for sure. This thing is pure elegance.

I definitely need to own one of these in my lifetime. The sidelines look like an e46 m3, while the rear and overall shape look more similar to an AMG wagon.

I’m with you, I love wagons. My family thinks it’s weird but I don’t care. Nice looking wagon in immaculate condition. Very nice.

Hell, yes, I’ve been wanting you to review this car forever. It’s a beautiful estate, always love the design, yes I’m a jaguar fan, yes I had an X type 3.0. But they are so rare and just such cool cars. This one is beautiful. I would love to park in my driveway.

These share a platform with the Ford Mondeo, which made them the first and only (to my knowledge) FWD Jaguar.

Man I love these cars.

sweet. i remember this sold at the jag dealer in freeport long island. same color. nice.

Rex is a cool dude and that’s a beautiful car

Imagine how much of a unicorn it would be if this had the manual. These didn't age well but it's a good-looking Euro wagon. The low miles are probably why this is still running.

Bet Doug is jealous of the unique cars you could review, like this one.

Never knew they made a wagon version of the X-type. Nkw that I know. I want one. 😊

7:59 - This is a model Jaguar should have had much earlier. The brand needed something in the same space as the vaunted 3 Series. Audi, Mercedes, Volvo, Saab, Infiniti, Acura, etc., all had a compact entry-level sedan in the 90s or earlier. Jaguar didn't (neither did Lexus.) Ford did a good job of recognizing that and filling the gap with the X-Type. Then, Ford's PAG was dismantled, and the new owner never followed up with further development. Fair decision since the segment was shifting to crossovers by the time the X-Type was discontinued.

The kind of cars we need more of in KZfaq

you can pick these up for under £1000 ($1300)here in the UK.

"Station wagons have never been popular", meanwhile nearly every kid who grew up from the 50s to the 90s had a station wagon in their family at some point or another. In some car lineups the station wagon was actually the top of the line luxury ride until minivans eroded the market and they fell out of fashion, but things always go in cycles, SUVs cannot remain popular forever any more than fins or station wagons or minivans or hatchbacks did .

Rare jaguar wagon thank for video

I had a 2004 X-Type sedan with a 2.5 litre V6 petrol engine. The automatic transmission broke down at 164k kms. Also, the engine had some weird "hiccup" problems so I decided to buy an XF instead. So far so good, such a lovely car.

I had a 40,000 mile Dodge Magnum RT 5.7 hemi between 2012 and 2016. Now, that, was a wagon.

Still a shame Jaguar is going to stop making ICE next month.

I remember when 227 HP was pretty good. My '77 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser full size wagon had a whopping 170 - out of a 350 BTW. It was a dark time when we were ruthlessly ruled by the EPA.

Great video, a guy in my neighbourhood has a diesel one of these and has been running it for years. Alongside an XJ style Jeep Cheeroke.

That U-shaped configuration is the oddest automatic gear selector I think I've seen prior to the current button/toggle era.

That’s a great looking car. It’s about as fancy as you can make a Ford Contour.

That 3.0 is a version of Ford's 3.0 Duratec V6 and the transmission is a Jatco 5 speed auto.

Beautiful and rare unicorn

And,since it's an English/European built car,the Jag has factory fitted,integral rear red fog lights,as required by law in Europe since 1980.

Hey siri play extint by reason My speakers:”….damn they dont make ‘em like this anymore…”

Zack, when are u gonna be in the California area?

The x type is the one good thing to come out of Ford's ownership of Jaguar

Never knew there was a Jaguar station wagon wtf

i have never seen one in the northeastern states, i never knew they existed

Love wagons.

I brought one new in 2009, a sovereign 2.2 turbo diesel auto estate. Living in Vancouver now and I’m looking for a V6 estate

Have you drive the Toyota Crown Platinum Max? If you haven’t you should check it out. Let me know

i only love station wagon only

I don't think I've ever seen one.

The taillights remind me of Volvo

also sols as the FORD MODEO.

that a volvo/ford help made this car

Best non-v8 wagon hands down Volvo 240 with manual transmission. But this one is weird

No rear vents Is a shame the front looks good but the rear looks so strange like a sabb or something

Never came with the 6 speed in the United States unfortunately

I would like invite look my 9000 1992 in seattle and make video or 9.5 wagon and Peugeot 505

Side profile bmw 3

Are s rare sight I saw one once in a used car lot 5year ago werd

car go space? car no go space car go on road.

Suprised it hasn’t broken down yet since Jaguar was owned by ford at the time where ford wasn’t at its peak. Not like tata is any better 😂

X type: the grotesque jaguar

It’s a cheap car. It was cheap car when new and even now. Garbage. Horrible review. This dude can’t talk proper English. Keeps saying very very , so sad 🤷
