Crash Test 2001 - 2009 (Discontinued) Jaguar X Type (Frontal Offset) IIHS

Jaguar X-Type
2002-08 models mfg. after Dec. 2001
FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Good Good Good Acceptable Good Good

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Jaguar X-Type was introduced in the 2002 model year. All 2002 and later X-Type models manufactured after December 2001 include structural modifications to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door).

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of an X-Type with the structural changes in a 40 mph frontal offset crash test into a deformable barrier.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail and A-pillar.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, chest and right leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head accelerations from the roof rail/A-pillar hits were low.

ugly little thing, ain't it?

[firedemon101]

yup it is

[superhimler]

uhhhhh did any1 else notice how dead any back seat riders are?

[markVIIchick]

Front seat is one thing-

But what of the safety of the rear passengers?

The driver side rear seat flipped all the way down O.O

i was in a test drive in one of these last year, I was in the rear left seat (my pops was test driving it) the owner of the vehicle was in the passenger seat, so we were at the red lights stationary, then out of nowhere a car crashed into my door - rear passenger, full contact and i was able to walk out of that accident with only a few cuts and bruises! the ambulance and police who came were shocked that i even survived due to the speed the other car was travelling, its a very strong car!

This car put a black eye on jags. Some things are never good to be made affordable.

@bamac2008 They don't make it anymore because it's a 10 year old car and a replacement is on it's way. They made it from 2001 to 2010 and it sold nearly 300,000. Not bad for a smallish company like Jaguar who only make 4 models in their range. And obviously you need to go to Specsavers or something. The X - Type is a fine looking car.

All the people shocked at how the back seat folds down are as intelligent as the dummy up front. The rear seat belts are bolted to the body of the car, not the rear seat.

[coreybeaulieu666]

thats how you fold the rear seats down.....

[296jayce]

they really should have a dummy wit balistics gel and fake bone to also see how many abrasions and broken bone you might get, not just predict if you would, and asume you wont be cut

[mavericgavin]

shit that scary

[bamac2008]

@Loakvo Love your spelling. Truth is, its ugly, and people barely bought it, thats why they dont even make it anymore, and no Im not a crazy SUV person, why does everyone jump the gun & just assume everyone loves SUVs, thats pretty ignorant.

[Loakvo]

@bamac2008 bet u love those ugly suv`s.it makes u look so big and powerfull.....................­.
