The S-TYPE Jaguar

S-TYPE engines, with confident exhaust note, assured power, and complete grace in traffic, create an alluring music. Choose from three options: 3.0-liter V6, 4.2-liter V8, or exhilarating supercharged 400-horsepower, 4.2-liter V8 in the S-TYPE R. All run through a smooth ZF 6-speed automatic transmission. All promise galvanizing driving moments.

What truly forges the S-TYPE´s identity is precise, catlike handling. From steering and gearshift to seats and pedals, the car behaves like an extension of the driver. Independent wishbone suspension incorporates aluminum components, improving stiffness and reducing unsprung weight. Computer Active Technology analyzes road conditions and dampens pitch and roll to balance traction, handling and ride.1 Speed-sensitive, variable-ratio power steering improves on-center stability at speed, and enhances maneuverability for parking.

Drivers—and passengers—are protected from all sides. By Adaptive Restraint Technology that deploys driver and passenger front airbags according to many factors including occupant position, weight and safety belt use. By side curtain airbags that drop from above doors to shield outboard occupants. By four-channel anti-lock brakes–with larger R Performance discs on S-TYPE R. By Dynamic Stability Control, which automatically intervenes when sensing unsafe conditions to help prevent oversteer or understeer. And by Emergency Brake Assist, which measures brake pedal activation in emergencies and initiates full braking when needed. Feel ready for the road.2
