The 3.0 liter S-Type sedan is now available in two styles: the standard SE or with the optional Sport Package upgrade.  The Sport model adds Jaguar's CATS (Computer Active Technology Suspension) and self-adjusting shocks.  The 3.0 liter engine delivers 235 horsepower, sending the mid-size sedan from 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds.  A six-speed manual transmission is new this year.

Standard features here are just a bit slimmer than that of the 4.2L sedan.  Stability control, a CD audio system, steering wheel audio controls and side curtain airbags are new this year, added to items like leather upholstery, a trip computer, dual-zone climate control, heated mirrors, keyless entry, a wood-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob and automatic headlights.
