The 2008 Jaguar X-TYPE Sportwagon is said to deliver levels of appearance, luxury and utility other cars don´t offer. It also has ample cargo space, making it a vehicle that combines convenience with its other features, offering safety and innovation.

A practical feature on the ‘08 Sportwagon is the Traction-4 All Wheel Drive, which adjusts power output to compensate for any difference in speed between the front and rear wheels. For instance, if a front wheel starts to slip on an icy road, the engine’s power is transferred to the rear wheel to regain traction.

Many safety features come standard, including LATCH attachments for child-restraint safety installation, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for front occupants, and 3-point rear safety belts with pyrotechnic pretensioners and load limiters.

Silver roof rails, dual tailpipes with bright finishers and a chrome leaper hood ornament add to the striking appearance of the Sportwagon, while more convenient features on this Jaguar include a rear door with independent tailgate opening, 3-channel garage door/entry gate opener and rain-sensing windshield wipers. There’s also heated, power-adjustable mirrors that can improve visibility.

Power is added to the mix with the Sportwagon’s high-performance, V6-engine, which gets 227-horse power and uses a 5-speed electronic automatic transmission.

Features such as the Sportwagon’s DVD-based navigation, which assists the driver in finding destinations using a 7-inch touchscreen, along with Bluetooth capability and Rear Park Control, shows that this model is ahead of the game when it comes to technology.

The 2008 Jaguar X-TYPE Sportwagon is sleek, innovative and safe, making it a hard ride to pass up at this year’s events.
