Jaguar S Type

Click below to read car reviews of the Jaguar S Type . At Review Centre we have thousands of reviews of cars including other Jaguar makes and models, both new and used, like the Jaguar X Type, the Jaguar E Type and the Jaguar XJS.


The S type is famous for its distinctive styling - the bold grille and famous raked bonnet. Its an engineering masterpiece. Current models include the high performance 4.2-litre V8 supercharged engine, Jaguars most potent production engine, delivering an exhilarating 400 hp. Constructed in light compacted Graphite Iron, the S-Types twin turbocharged diesel engine manages reasonable fuel efficiency of 41.5 mpg on basic models as well as high performance. Features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) as standard on all models; as well as Sat Nav, Bluetooth, Adaptive Cruise Control, quality upholstery, fine leathers, highly polished wooden veneers or contemporary aluminum. The plush, leather seats of SE models feature colour-keyed upper facia and door top rolls, and leather trimmed four spoke steering wheel. Luxury redesigned classic leather seats are on all SE models, available with optional distinctive satin mahogany veneer. Apart from the hefty prices the only other downside is that S-Type insurance groups start at group 14 and rise to group 19, only one below the most expensive rating of 20. The modern S Type is set to be discontinued in 2008 UK and replaced with a more contemporary looking vehicle so get one while you can.

    I have had my Jaguar S Type 3.0 for three years and I wish I had never laid eyes on it ! Yes, when it works, it's a dream to drive, comfortable but I could never say reliable! I wonder, everytime I go out to it, what will be wrong today? So far it has probably cost around £3,000 in repairs and ...
