Real Life Test

With fuel costs well past £5 a gallon and VED costs set to rocket, UK motorists are facing some stark choices.

Real Life Economy Test

This week:

Jaguar X-TYPE 2.0d

Jaguar's small exec is a perfect choice for the first Real Life Test. This is a seriously luxurious and well specified car. The 2.0d delivers up to 350Nm of torque, good for 0-60mph in 9.5 seconds and a top speed of 125mph, with great in-gear overtaking power. But it’s also a highly fuel-efficient car – as we'll see over the next six months in the Real Life Test.

A week in the life of the X-TYPE 2.0d
