Jaguar S-TYPE Diesel saloon models will be Euro IV emissions compliant from July 2005 - six months ahead of the date demanded by legislation. The new Euro IV compliant S-TYPE 2.7 Diesel replaces the EUIII model and is available to buy now with prices starting from just £28,895.

With a price increase of around 3%, over the existing EUIII model, customers will benefit from improved driveability and more responsive performance on top of improved tax efficiency: compliance with the forthcoming 2006 Euro IV emissions regulations means that the 3% company car tax supplement on diesel cars is waived for S-TYPE diesels registered in 2005.

Fuel consumption and CO 2 figures have improved as a direct result of achieving the improved emissions status figures; the combined fuel consumption for the 2.7D manual is 41.5mpg whilst the CO 2 figure for the S-TYPE diesel manual saloon decreases from 189g/km to 179g/km.
