Miles Overview
The S-Type is Jaguar's mid-size luxury sedan, competing with the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class of its era. The ride is exceptionally smooth and quiet, with a Sport Mode that sharpens the throttle response for a more engaging feel. The cabin feels special with wood grain trim and leather, though the rear legroom is tight for a car this size. Owners report electrical issues and a tendency for the leather dash to crack in the sun, so a sun shield helps. The base S-Type is the one to pick if you want Jaguar's luxury and ride without the V8's fuel bills, though the 3.0L V6 is noticeably slower than the R model. Its 3.0L V6 pairs with a automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, delivering smooth power for relaxed cruising but feeling strained when you push it hard; expect 19 mpg combined. The Sport Package adds stiffer springs and bigger wheels, which tighten up the handling but make the ride firmer than the standard car's plush setup.
