Evening all simple really buying abother jaguar,I've had xtype 2.5 awd was nice but now looking to step up

To 3.0ltr but can't decide s type or xtype any views on this power wise etc

Welcome to the club, John.

 

I also had an x type 2.5 litre V6 AWD and it was very nice indeed.  When it was "borrowed" on a non returnable basics by a pair of scroats my wife said the short turn a disaster into an opportunity and buy the car I really wanted, which was an S Type.

 

I settled for the 2.7 diesel SE with a lot of optional extras fitted, and have had two and a half years of trouble free luxury motoring.

 

The X Type 2.5AWD was described by one reviewer as "nippy" and while it is very agile with the four wheel drive, I would never say it was nippy.  If you want the same experience but with more power, then the X Type 3.0 litre petrol AWD is the car to choose.

 

But if you want "Grace, pace, and space" then you have to go for the S Type, which is quicker than many people think, even in the diesel engined model. which will reach 62 mph in 8 seconds, and with twin turbochargers has fantastic acceleration from 20 mph to 70, and more if SWMBO will let you.

 

Your choice.  Other experiences will assist.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.
