The X-Type, codenamed X400, was Jaguar's first compact executive car since the Jaguar Mark 1 of 1955. The X-Type was one of the last to be styled under the supervision of Geoff Lawson, with the principal designer credited as Wayne Burgess. The four-door saloon was in production from 2001 to 2009, and the range was expanded in 2004 with the five-door estate which also ended production in 2009.The estate is the first ever manufactured in series production by the company and the second-ever Jaguar estate car (the first being a conversion of the XJS into the Lynx Eventer). In North America, the estate was officially known as the "Sportwagon”. It was the first Jaguar model designed by Ian Callum.

That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
