Building on success
S-TYPE's launch in 1999 marked the beginning of a major product-led transformation for Jaguar. Following the launch, the company's worldwide sales virtually doubled and S-TYPE sales to date have exceeded 135,000 cars.

"Building on the success of the S-TYPE, we have refined and developed the range to appeal to an even wider market and to strengthen our position as one of the leading players in the premium saloon segment. Reaffirming Jaguar's core marque values of distinctive style, refined power, agile handling, supple ride and luxurious comfort ,the new S-TYPE is even better equipped and more accessible than ever, with a choice of engines and specifications to suit individual tastes and budgets."
