The 2007 Jaguar X-Type comes in just two models: the sedan and the wagon. Both are powered by a 3.0-liter V6 rated 227 horsepower, driving all four wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. A five-speed manual is no longer available.The X-Type sedan ($34,330), which Jaguar sometimes refers to as the X-Type 3.0, comes with automatic climate control; leather upholstery; eight-way power driver's seat; 70/30 split folding rear seats; Bronze Sapele wood interior trim; tilt-and-telescope steering wheel; six-speaker, 120-watt AM/FM/CD stereo; power locks; one-touch power windows; a power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof; automatic headlights; and 16-inch alloy wheels. The Sportwagon ($39,330) is somewhat better equipped, adding a 320-watt premium Alpine sound system, a wood-and-leather steering wheel, 10-way power adjustable seats for driver and front-seat passenger, electrochromic mirrors inside and out, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a programmable garage-door opener, message center and trip computer, Reverse Park Control, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The cargo bay features a retractable security cover, a cargo net, four-spring-loaded tie-downs, and a 12-volt power outlet inside a hidden storage compartment. A Luxury Package ($2,400) for the sedan adds some unique appearance items, including contrasting piping for the leather seats, burl walnut veneers, bright mirror caps, rear treadplates, and 17-inch wheels (of a different design than the wagon's). It also brings the sedan closer to the Sportwagon's level of equipment, with a wood-and-leather-trimmed steering wheel, eight-way power passenger seat, electrochromic mirrors, memory for the driver's seat and side mirrors, Reverse Park Control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, programmable garage door opener, and a message center and trip computer. Options include heated front seats ($500), Reverse Park Control ($325), DVD-based navigation ($2,300), Bluetooth wireless connectivity ($500), 320-watt Alpine sound ($800), Sirius Satellite Radio ($450), metallic paint ($595), custom-order paint ($1,000), and 17-inch wheels ($700). Eighteen-inch wheels with 225/40ZR18 Pirelli P-Zero performance tires ($800) are available on Sportwagons and on sedans with the Luxury Package. The wagon can be ordered with black (instead of silver) roof rails for no extra cost. Safety features for both models include dual frontal, side-impact and side-curtain airbags managed by a sophisticated sensor system; pre-tensioning front safety belts with load-limiters; and three-point belts for all seats. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is now standard as well, and so is antilock braking (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).
