Jaguar F-TYPE

The Jaguar F-Type is a luxury sports car available as either a coupe or a convertible. The two-seater serves as the brand’s flagship sports car. Since its 2014 introduction, it has seen just a single generation, with a significant 2021 facelift featuring refreshed styling, updated technology, and a simplified engine lineup.

Throughout its production, the F-Type has been offered in a range of trims. In earlier versions, they include the base model, the sportier S, and the high-performance R and SVR. In 2019, the automaker revamped the lower end of the lineup, switching to numerical trim names that include the P300, P340, and P380, each with a corresponding horsepower rating. In terms of features, the F-Type comes well-equipped. Since 2019, automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist have been standard active safety features. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration also debuted in 2019 and became standard the following year.

Under the hood, the F-Type offers a variety of powertrains. The entry-level engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 296 horsepower (dubbed P300), which first appeared in 2018. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic that routes power to the rear wheels (only). A 3.0-liter supercharged V6 is also available in a range of outputs, including 340-hp and 380-hp versions. They can be fitted with either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual gearbox, which was offered through the 2019 model year. They also offer optional all-wheel drive. At the upper end of the range is a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which comes on the R and SVR trims and produces between 550 and 575 hp, depending on the year and trim. It pairs exclusively with the eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.

In 2022, Jaguar simplified the engine lineup, dropping the four- and six-cylinders in favor of a less powerful version of the supercharged V8. Dubbed the P450, it produces 444 hp and comes with an eight-speed automatic and either rear- or all-wheel drive.
