This article summarizes a test drive of the new Jaguar X-Type diesel model. Key points include: - The car achieved nearly 50 miles per gallon, surpassing expectations for a diesel engine. - Acceleration was adequate rather than sporty, with 0-60 mph times around 9.5 seconds. - Handling was assessed as very good, even on demanding mountain roads in the Lake District. - The diesel engine started quickly and smoothly without the long warm-up period of some diesel cars. - While not as sporty as some competitors, the X-Type maintains Jaguar's reputation for elegant, distinctive styling.
