(from Ford Motor Company Press Release) 2008 MODEL YEAR JAGUAR S-TYPE
The new 2008 Model Year Jaguar S-TYPE features exterior and interior design revisions as well as a number of new features both standard and optional.
The S-TYPE continues to be respected and admired by customers throughout the world. At an emotional level, S-TYPE owners are attracted by its spirit of individuality, iconic design and sporting performance. But there are also a host of rational reasons why buying an S-TYPE makes sense. A range of four engines � from the acclaimed twin-turbo V6 Jaguar diesel engine that offers outstanding performance alongside superb fuel economy, through to the mighty 4.2-litre supercharged V8 � and the availability of manual and automatic transmissions gives S-TYPE customers a choice of rewarding powertrains. Every S-TYPE has an impressive equipment specification, including many of Jaguar�s latest technical features, and of course craftsmanship and quality are high on the list of attributes.
For the 2008 Model Year, all S-TYPEs gain the sporting S-TYPE R bumper and mesh grille. The new look at the front is both contemporary and more dynamic, giving every model a more poised and powerful appearance. An upgraded range of beautiful alloy wheels adds to the sporting appearance of the 2008 Model Year cars. A multi-spoke 17-inch Antares wheel is now standard on the least expensive models, while all SE versions now feature the 18-inch Triton alloy wheel. In the UK a new XS model with a dynamic new bodykit, Sport interior and 18-inch Mercury wheels replaces the existing S-TYPE Sport model. At the top-of-the-range, the S-TYPE R now comes with a stunning 19-inch wheel � the Barcelona � as standard in a majority of markets.
The S-TYPE�s interior is also upgraded, with the introduction of multi-function seats with non-perforated leather instead of the previous Classic seat for all SE and XS models. The entry-level cars now come with a leather-trimmed steering wheel as standard, while a new Satin Mahogany veneer is available as an option across the range. Choice is further extended with the availability of a beautiful new Ivory and Charcoal leather colour combination for SE models.
With technical excellence and innovation very much part of the S-TYPE�s appeal, Rear Park Assist has become standard on all models.
The 2008 Model Year S-TYPE range is available for order from dealers now.
