I used to have a 2.5 v6 X-Type and the AWD system coped very well with heavy snow over the winters we had while I owned it, It was replaced by a Nissen XTrail which, while also coping with the snow did not have the comfort of the X-Type, I remember one particular night in the X-Type approaching the hill up to our street in heavy falling snow coming across a queue of around five cars that had attempted and failed to climb the hill. I was approached by the driver of a small FWD car who actually started laughing when I pulled out to overtake him and still remember the expression on his face in my rearview mirror as I disappeared from him on my way slowly but steadily up the hill. The Xtrail was replaced by a Volvo XC90 and it was tremendous in the snow. I am now happy to be back with Jaguar with an XF and am not too concerned as over the fifteen years of 4x4 ownership, in reality, I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I really needed it.
