Jaguar S-Type Overview
The S-Type’s design drew inspiration from Jaguar’s heritage, particularly the Jaguar Mark 2 from the 1960s. It featured traditional styling cues such as a prominent grille, round headlights, and a sleek profile. The interior of the S-Type carried on the retro theme, with luxurious materials such as leather and wood, combined with modern amenities. It was well-appointed with features that were cutting-edge for the time. Over its production run, the S-Type was offered with various engine options, ranging from V6 to V8 engines, and even a diesel engine in some markets. The performance-oriented S-Type R featured a supercharged V8 engine.
