What is the Jaguar S-Type?
The Jaguar S-Type is a mid-size saloon with a rounded body and a prominent grille. Its four-door layout suits everyday driving and longer journeys. The name recalls Jaguar’s earlier S-Type saloon, and the modern car’s styling drew on the marque’s established design cues.
The S-Type brought Jaguar back to the compact luxury saloon class. Its range included petrol and diesel engines, with choices varying by market.
Generation and engines
The modern S-Type had one generation, the first generation (X200), sold from 2000 to 2008. UK figures cover 2.5 L to 4.2 L engines and include petrol and diesel versions. The US and Canadian figures cover petrol engines from 3.0 L to 4.2 L.
A 2.7 L diesel appears in EU registration figures for 2010 and is also within the UK engine range. Petrol versions make up the US and Canadian figures.
How economical is the Jaguar S-Type?
The lowest listed UK consumption is 6.8 L/100 km on the NEDC test. In the United States, the EPA figure is 11.8 L/100 km, equivalent to 20 MPG combined. Canada’s lowest figure is 10.5 L/100 km on the 5-cycle test. NEDC in Europe, EPA in the United States and the 5-cycle test in Canada use different procedures, so the figures are best read within their own markets.
