The model will be imported with both of the available engines: 2.5- and three-litre petrol V6s.
Next year, Jaguar expects to sell about 300 X-types in Brazil, taking total marque sales to 500 vehicles. To support the increase, the company will double its dealer network to eight outlets.
“The Brazilian market is very important to Jaguar. It is the biggest in South America and has great potential,” said Gitter.
