“I love it. Performance is as good as it gets at this price point. Drawbacks are small trunk space and tight interior. No jump seat in back unlike a 911.”
2019 Jaguar F-TYPE: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2019 is a broader set of standard driver-assistance features across every F-TYPE. A 10-inch touchscreen with updated graphics also arrives, while the basic sports-car formula carries over.
About the 2019 Jaguar F-TYPE
1st generation (X152, 2014-2020), late-cycle year after the 2018 update and before the 2021 redesign.
Jaguar positions the F-TYPE as its definitive two-seat sports car: dramatic to look at, emotional to hear, and driver-focused inside. It stands out less for practicality or clinical efficiency and more for style, exhaust character, and a strong sense of occasion. Coupe and convertible body styles, plus a wide spread from turbo-four to supercharged V8 power, let the model range cover everything from an everyday sports car to a much more serious high-performance machine.
The 2019 F-TYPE is a low-slung two-seat sports car whose lineup spans a lighter 296-hp turbo-four, two supercharged V6 tunes, and high-power V8 models. R-Dynamic pairs the stronger V6 with darker styling and sharper handling hardware, while the all-wheel-drive R has a 550-hp V8 and the 575-hp SVR adds a lighter exhaust, revised aerodynamics, and more focused chassis tuning.
What changed, by category
Safety
