THE standard transmission on X-Type Sport is a five-speed manual (with leather gearshift) while SE models come fitted with an electronic five-speed automatic transmission with "normal" and "sport" driving modes (and a wooden gear lever). An SE with a manual gearbox can be ordered from the factory for an additional cost. The X-Type also features Jaguar's exclusive Traction-4 full-time all-wheel drive system, which comprises a viscous-coupled centre differential that splits torque 40/60 per cent front to rear in normal driving conditions. If slip is detected, torque will be transferred via the viscous coupling to the front or rear wheels to provide optimum traction and stability.
