The S-Type was Jaguar’s executive saloon from 1999 to 2007, developed to take on the established Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series. It certainly turned heads, featuring bold styling inspired by classic Jaguar designs, but beneath its retro looks you’ll find modern comfort and excellent ride quality. Owners highlight the plush ride and the excellent diesel engines available from 2004. Compared with its German-made rivals, the S-Type offers a more traditional take on luxury – especially inside, where wood and leather come as standard. Key strengths today include its value for money on the used market, spacious front seats and a range of powerful engines. Just be aware of the running costs that reflect its executive badge.
