Is Jaguar X Type just a Ford Mondeo?
Why do people offend Jaguar X Type owners by saying it is just a Ford Mondeo. I know that it shares a Ford Mondeo Second generation platform and both Jaguar and ford sourced engines in petrol models but diesels have got same as a Ford Mondeo diesel. Even the Jaguar XJ(X350 & X358) and S Types got the same V6 engines as the Jaguar X type but they got the choice of V8 engines which X type hasn't got. The S Type also has a Ford platform.

Even the Land rover Freelander 2 has a third generation Ford Mondeo platform and pure ford engine. The Range Rover Evoque has the same engine as the Freelander 2 but a different platform.
So why are these vehicles not offended as the Jaguar X Type which is good value luxury car?

Have used both 2002 and 2007 Jaguar X types.
2002 is really unreliable but the 2007 is the opposite in my experience.
Well it's true that the chassis on the X-Type is from a Mondeo, but these ppl who say that are wrong. A lot of things on the X-Type, including electronics and buttons and leather etc. Are way more high-class than the Mondeo's. You can see a huge difference in handling when driving them too. The Jag is more sporty and feels a bit older (in a good way) whilst the Ford is more steady and family-like.
- Why doesn't Ford just identify as not an assault victim and move on, just like when you identify as a different gender? After all, if a man can "identify" as a woman despite the actual physical evidence he sees in the mirror every day, it should be a snap to "identify" past something that has no evidence. Stop dodging the question libs - the mechanism you claim allows you to be a different gender despite your years in your physical body should be powerful enough to change your perspective on one moment of your life… Or is the whole thing a fraud?
- Ford mondeo boot won't open off of dash button or boot handle but will from key fob? I have a 2001 ford mondeo estate and I can't get the boot to open from the dash button or the boot handle but I can from the key fob by double pressing it. I have tried removing the dash burron and reconnecting it with no success this seems to be a common problem on this car yet nobody seems to know the cause
- Ford Mondeo 2000 fog lights switch does nothing? I have a Ford Mondeo Verona X reg and it has a switch for fog lights. When you turn them on, the icon appears on te dash. The only problem is, the car doesn't have any fog lights to turn on… Explanation of why there's a switch if there aren't any fog lights?
- Is the old Ford mondeo just a cross between a five hundred and focus? I was watching an old episode of top gear where Jeremy drove the mondeo st220. To me the car looks like the front end of an American 2005-2007 focus and the rest of the body looks like and an American five hundred. Does anyone else see the resemblance?
