The 2004 Jaguar X-Type is a compact executive car that marked a significant shift for the British luxury automaker, aiming to attract a wider audience with a more affordable and practical offering. Introduced in 2001, the X-Type was based on the Ford Mondeo platform, sharing some components and engineering with its American cousin. Despite this lineage, the X-Type managed to maintain a distinct Jaguar identity, featuring the brand's characteristic design cues and luxurious interior. Its sleek, aerodynamic lines, distinctive grille, and elegant proportions embodied the traditional Jaguar aesthetic, while offering a more compact and maneuverable package than the larger XJ sedan.

Inside, the X-Type offered a comfortable and well-appointed cabin, featuring high-quality materials and a driver-focused layout. While the interior design drew inspiration from the XJ, it was tailored to the X-Type's smaller dimensions and more practical purpose. The X-Type was available with a range of powerful and refined engines, including a 2.5-liter V6 and a 3.0-liter V6, both offering a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Additionally, the X-Type offered a sporty and engaging driving experience, thanks to its precise handling and responsive steering. Although the X-Type was discontinued in 2009, it left a lasting legacy as a successful entry point into the world of Jaguar ownership, bridging the gap between luxury and affordability for a new generation of drivers.
