Limited Edition X-Type offers luxury for $79,990

JAGUAR’S limited edition X-Type LS, which goes on sale this week, is based on an X-Type 2.5 SE with an extensive list of luxury equipment and added features included for $79.990.

Exterior changes on the X-Type LS include new 17 inch alloy wheels, chrome mirrors and grille vanes, a rear tread plate and a choice of two metallic paint colours – topaz and zircon.

There are also some interior styling changes with all models featuring sand coloured leather with sable contrast stitching, a wood & leather steering wheel, walnut veneer and gearknob and lambswool mats.

Additional features included as standard are satellite navigation, 10-way electrically adjustable seats, front sliding armrest, heated seats, automatic headlights, reverse park aid, power foldback rearview mirrors, electrochromic rearview mirror and rain sensing wipers.

These features give the X-Type LS all the luxury features imaginable to make driving straight forward and to allow the driver to concentrate on the road ahead.

X-Type sales continue to grow in Australia and sales for 2003 are up a further 10 percent on 2002 year on year.

Jaguar Australia managing director Danny Rezek says the X-Type LS' subtle exterior changes signal the addition of some great features.

"Driving this limited edition means that the car does a lot of the thinking for you – it works out when your headlights should be on, the windscreen wipers need to be activated, directs you where to go through the satellite navigation and guides you safely into the tightest car parking space," Mr Rezek said.

"And the best attribute is that you get all of this for $79,990 with automatic transmission and Jaguar's all-wheel-drive system as standard."

The X-Type LS is available this week at Jaguar dealerships.
