Mileage: 20 mpg combined city/highway
Starting price: $49,000
The base-model Jaguar S-Type sedan, with a 235-hp, 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine, gets 20 mpg combined. The wood- and leather-lined S-Type is rear-wheel drive. It performs 2 mpg better than the smaller Jaguar X-Type with the same-size 3.0-liter engine, because the X-Type has mileage-robbing all-wheel drive as standard equipment. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard. The S-Type will be phased out beginning in March, 2008, for the all-new 2009 XF model.
