Road Test

The iteration of the Jaguar S-Type offered a V8 engine for about the same price as six-cylinder models from its key competitors. The S-Type's V8 provides quicker, smoother acceleration than the V6 S-Type that we previously tested, and the new six-speed transmission is an improvement as well. But the S-Type doesn't offer the ride comfort or quietness befitting a sedan in this category. Handling is nimble, but the car is not as agile as its German rivals. We also found the interior cramped and the trunk small.
