Yes, it's included. The X-type is a nice car and you can get some great lease deals on them compared to the C.

NTSB just released crash data on X-Type that made the nat'l news last week. Crashworthiness not so good for X-type... rated one of the worst. But I wouldn't advocate buying (or not) based on whether you live through an accident. Just info to add to your other considerations.
Do you suppose the great lease deals are because Jaguar is having trouble selling them? IMO, that's usually the case.

crash tests
Forget the US crash tests - they are ALL too easy.
For REAL, MEANINGFUL results, see www.euroncap.com.
For a laugh, check out the frontal collision results for the last generation Chrysler minivan. Zero points. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
However (unfortunately for some) they don't test Bubba-mobiles like pickups over there.
The safest sedan to date is the .......wait for it........ Renault Laguna, five stars. The C sedan rates 4 stars, also quite good. Later this month a pile of new test results will be published there. Apparently another car has just rated five stars.

Just test-drive the two back to back and tell me which one has more bounce to the ounce. The Jag is a heavy car - you need at least the 3.0 Litre engine, and then it's no comparison, what with the much higher price.

I don't know for sure if they are selling to plan, but I DO see a lot of them on the road. At least compared to the C Coupe or the Sedan for that matter.
As far as the great lease deals go, I'm sure that "selling below plan" is not the only reasons that these are offered (although I'm sure it's the most used reason).
There always seems to be a "catch" with great deals. Even when all of the companies were offering 0% financing, some were only for 36 months or shorter, and then only if you had excellent credit.

Yeah, the "great lease deals" in my area revealed a 32k mileage cap for a 39 month lease in the fine print of the newspaper ad.

I think you meant to say you have seen a lot of X-types at the SIDE of the road. Get what I mean ?

i see a lot of x-types also now. i thought that they weren't selling well, but checking out their numbers and they're pretty impressive. more than the coupe at least. so i think it is a successfully selling car.
i'd also recommend the 3.0l version.

Its not that successful considering the sales targets they had in mind. The only way dealers are able to move these is through cheap leasing deals. And Jaguar has traditionally had a problem with reselling cars after the lease expires. Seems nobody wants a used Jaguar. They have quite a way to go to establishing themselves as a brand that holds its value.

Talk about cheap leasing ads. My two closests dealers offered $279/mo and $299/mo in newspaper ads for the coupe. Personally I prefer to own unless it's some crazy lease where it's so cheap you can't go wrong.

A lease at $199 can be a bad deal if they require $20,000 down.
