Jaguar is aiming to eke some extra life out of the slow-selling S-type with a minor facelift, additional standard equipment and a five-grand price cut for the supercharged S-type R.
All models will now feature the front bumper and mesh grille treatment of the sportiest model in a bid to make the lesser S-types seem more ‘Silverstone’ than ‘pipe and slippers’, while to tidy up the range some trim levels have been dropped, as has the naturally aspirated V8 model.
