The S-Type sedans are Jaguar's mid-priced ofering, falling in between the entry level X-Type and the flagship XJ sedans. Both the X-Type and S-Type Jaguar sedans are differentiated from the flagship XJ by their foundations. The two lower level sedans are Ford-based, while the XJ remains pure Jaguar. The S-Type is built atop Ford's former Lincoln LS platform, and shares many structural and mechanical similarities.
For 2006, the V-8 engine has been tweaked for slightly more power and a more advanced braking system has also been added. Bluetooth and satellite radio are added to the options roster.
The S-Type sedan has a unique and distinguished grille design, reminiscent of the Jaguar's classic designs. The S borrows many styling elements from the Jaguar Mark II sedan built in the 1960s.
The two model S-Type lineup begins with 3.0 liter V-6 version, which generates 235 horsepower. It comes equipped with leather, walnut trim, a moon roof, dual zone climate control, 17-inch wheels, and full power accessories.
A 4.2 liter V8-powered version is also available. This V-8, found in all the higher priced models, now produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This model receives sound system upgrade, xenon headlights, a navigation system, and an electric rear sun shade.
A six speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels on both models.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2006 Jaguar S-TYPE generally have a positive view of the car, appreciating its stylish design, comfort, and reliable performance. Many found the 3.0 and V-8 engines powerful and enjoyable to drive, while some noted concerns about fuel consumption, particularly when driven aggressively. However, the classic feel and appeal continue to charm drivers, making it a favored choice despite its minor drawbacks."
I love almost everything about my car. Its classic looks, its powerful engine, the beautiful design, its image and its comfort.... yes everything except the fuel consumtion when you really drive it fast, it burns fuel and tyres like a crocodile eats a chicken. Wham!!!
July 13, 2009Very good car. the brakes are a little soft, but otherwise very smooth.
May 25, 2008The V-8 roars very nice but very soft.

February 18, 2008I previously owned a 2003 Jaguar S Type, and I loved it so much I turned around and bought another S Type. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but has been very reliable and gives me that “classic” feel.
August 21, 20232006 is a good year for S-Type. Although some may say it is not a real Jaguar due to Ford influence of that era, I would recommend the car. It is stylish, comfortable, well built, and a pleasure to drive. It is more reliable than most of the modern Jag models.
March 20, 2024I love the look of this car and the attention it attracts. I would recommend this car to anyone. the larger engine does reduce the milage. however the sound system and comfortable ride make up for the poor gas milage.
October 25, 2013As long as it’s the 3.0 engine this is a fine car.
