Review: BMW R Nine T Urban G/S (productReview)
If you want to explore a little further in to the wilds, the G/S X is the model to choose, even if it does add £715 to the bill. You get those off-road tyres and heated grips, as well as a chromed exhaust and cross-spoke wheels. That’s about the limit of equipment for the G/S. -
Jeep Wagoneer S (2025 on) (Reviews)
Of the Jeep’s principle rivals, the one which seems closest in ethos and slinky styling is the Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback, although that’s a model which is already in the second-half of its life cycle, so may feel less contemporary than the Wagoneer S does. So not only is the Wagoneer S rather sleek for Jeep, it sets a tone for high-end electric SUVs full stop — the company claims it’s 15% more aerodynamic than ‘the average SUV’. The trademark seven-slot grille still features in the Wagoneer S’s nose, but shallower than ever as well as being illuminated. -
Suzuki S-Cross (2022 on) (Reviews)
Overall, while there are certainly more polished and refined alternatives out there, there's some straightforward appeal to the humble Suzuki S-Cross. Looking for the previous generation? You'll want our Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013-2021) review . The Suzuki S-Cross feels like a family SUV of the old-school, despite its recent updates and mild-hybrid tech. -
Tesla Model S (2014 on) (Reviews)
With the Model S Tesla hasn’t just produced a car, but it’s created a charging network to power it, which allied to the useful real-world range the Model S (and Tesla’s other models) makes the Model S a car that’s genuinely useable, even over long distances. -
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2021 on) (Reviews)
There are still plenty of model choices, including AMG-Line versions, the powerful AMG S63 and the long wheelbase luxo-barge, the Mercedes Maybach S-Class. You can have a Mercedes S-Class with diesel or petrol engines, or as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The Mercedes S-Class is a superb piece of engineering and a genuine symbol of success. -
Ford S-MAX (2015 - 2023) (Reviews)
Launched in 2015, the current Ford S-MAX picked up where the old S-MAX left off by offering something different in the shrinking MPV segment. It's been mildly updated a couple of times since, and as of late 2021 the S-MAX has become hybrid -only. -
Toyota Verso S (2011 - 2013) (Reviews)
Toyota Verso S mini MPV launched Paris Motor Show 30-9-2010 to fill the gap left by the Toyota Yaris Verso and the Toyota Ractis that never arrived in Europe. -
Ford S-MAX (2006 - 2015) (Reviews)
Standard equipment on the S-MAX is impressive and all models get parking sensors, dual zone air conditioning and sports seats. It also has a heated windscreen, capless refuelling and an aircraft-styled handbrake, although the latter takes a bit of getting used to. The interior of the S-MAX is huge, with three rows of seats and up to 2000 litres of storage. -
Jaguar S-type (1999 - 2007) (Classics Reviews)
But the S-type had its critics. Like the Rover 75, which was launched at the same time, some saw the styling as backwards looking compared to cutting edge-designs like the new Ford Focus. But over time, the S-type seems to have aged well – even if it hasn’t quite found its niche in classic circles. -
Honda S-MX (1995 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
The Honda S-MX (or SMX) is a Japanese Minivan. It has two rows of bench seats and can accommodate up to five passengers. In a bid to maximise interior space, the traditional floor-mounted gearbox has been replaced by a column-mounted shift. -
Hyundai S Coupe (1990 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
In a growth market, the S Coupe was firmly at the back of the class … and that’s even if you noticed it at all. But it did have one major advantage over its rivals – price. At almost half the price of a Vauxhall Calibra, the S Coupe’s marketing position reach aggressive that its looks and handling could only dream of. -
TVR V8-S (1990 - 1994) (Classics Reviews)
The V8-S was a case of history releating itself. It was basically a case of taking an existing V6 product (the excellent S-Series roadster) and installing a tuned Rover V8 under the bonnet to create a very fast - and desirable - sports car. -
Nissan S-Cargo (1989 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
The S-Cargo was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989, and went on sale the following year. Approximately 12,000 S-Cargos were built, and they have subsequently been exported all over the world as a popular 'speciality' delivery vehicle. -
Jaguar XJ-S (1975 - 1996) (Classics Reviews)
So Jaguar used a shortened version of the then new XJ6 chassis to create its new sports car. Of course, the XJ-S isn't a sports car at all, but it's job was to continue in the spirit of the E-type Series 3. And while the XJ-S might not have been a nimble road racer, it was a brilliant grand tourer. It had light power-assisted steering, high gearing, and huge petrol tanks to accommodate the V12's huge thirst. -
Jaguar S-type (1963 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
The story of Jaguar’s Mk2 family is complicated - the original Mk1 was transformed into the Mk2 before being re-jigged into the 240/340. There were also two further offshoots, the similar looking S-type and the 420 (and let's not forget the V8 engined Daimler versions). The 1963 S-type was technically more sophisticated than the Mk1 and Mk2. The catalyst for the introduction of the S-type seems to have been the launch of the MkX as the new top of the range Jaguar. -
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
So, the S-Class is world class. Of that, there’s no doubt. Some might find its approach misses a bit of the drama of a Maserati Quattroporte or heft of a Bentley, but the S-Class earns its accolades through being relentlessly good at everything it does. -
Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013 - 2021) (Reviews)
Squint at the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross and you’ll see a few similarities to the Nissan Qashqai . That’s not a huge surprise – the Nissan is a best-seller and it was the benchmark against which the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross was measured. -
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2006 - 2014) (Reviews)
The 3 pointed star? The way the car drives? What it says about them? Make your up own mind if you aren't already an S-Class owner and know. -
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1991 - 1999) (Classics Reviews)
Te Mercedes-Benz S-Class may have reached its technical peak in 1991 with the W140 generation. Here we had a car that introduced several new innovations when launched, such as double-glazed side glass and self-closing doors. -
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1979 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
In 1979, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was relaunched, and once again took a big technological leap from what came before. Aerodynamic styling penned by Bruno Sacco signalled a new look that would filter its way down the entire range, and showed that Mercedes-Benz was not about to lose its lead in its sector of the marketplace.
