New for 2015

The F-TYPE Coupe is a new body style for 2015, complimenting the F-TYPE convertible that launched as a 2014 model.

A Classic in the Making

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most iconic cars ever made, but it’s taken Jaguar quite a while to build a follow-up.

The 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE Coupe is worth the wait, though. Following the sensational 2014 F-TYPE convertible, this coupe adds even more style and performance to one of the best sports cars in showrooms today. It makes for a combination that should reach icon status a few decades from now.

Powertrains and Performance

The 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE Coupe is offered with an array of powertrains that provide the performance to match the eye-popping exterior styling. This cat can really roar.

The entry-level engine in the F-TYPE Coupe is a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that produces 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. In all F-TYPE models, power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 340-hp F-TYPE Coupe will do 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, and reach an electronically limited top speed of 161 mph. EPA-rated gas mileage is 23 mpg combined (20 mpg city, 28 mpg highway),* not bad for a supercharged sports car.

Next up is the F-TYPE S Coupe, which features the same 3.0-liter supercharged V6, but with the power dial turned up to 380 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque. That helps the S hit 60 mph in a lightning-fast 4.8 seconds, and hit an electronically limited top speed of 177 mph. Fuel economy is rated at 22 mpg combined (19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway).*

For ultimate performance, the F-TYPE R Coupe is the only choice. This snarling cat features a 5.0-liter supercharged V8, with 550 hp and 502 pound-feet of torque. With all of that power, the R Coupe can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in four seconds flat, and reach 186 mph. Driven a little less aggressively, it will also achieve 18 mpg combined (16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway).*

Features and Trims

Starting at $65,000,** the 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE Coupe is a two-seat hardtop that compliments the F-TYPE convertible, which was introduced as a 2014 model.

Befitting a luxury sports car wearing the prestigious Jaguar badge, the F-Type Coupe comes well equipped no matter which model you choose. Standard features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather and Suedecloth sport seats, GPS navigation, and a 10-speaker Meridian™ audio system. Sports exhaust and Jaguar’s Performance Braking System ensure a suitably sporty driving experience.

Moving up to the F-TYPE S Coupe nets a sports suspension system, limited-slip differential for better traction, configurable ambient lighting, and power-folding heated side-view mirrors with LED turn signals and puddle lights.

Finally, the F-TYPE R Coupe boasts standard dual-zone climate control, reverse parking sensors, and a three-spoke, flat-bottomed steering wheel paired with upgraded sports seats, in addition to the applicable features from the two other models.

In addition, there are several standalone options and packages available. These include the Vision Pack, which adds Adaptive Front Lighting, among other features, and the Premium Pack, which includes a 14-way power adjustable driver’s seat with memory, a Valet Mode that locks out the trunk and glovebox, and the Climate Pack, which features a heated steering wheel and seats.

Exterior/Interior

It’s no exaggeration to say the 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE Coupe is one of the best-looking new cars on the road. Taking full advantage of the car’s classic front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, Jaguar’s designers created a modern interpretation of the legendary E-Type from the 1960s.

The F-TYPE Coupe’s silhouette mirrors that of the E-Type coupe, but the new car has much more muscular proportions and modern touches like flush-mounted door handles and a pop-up rear spoiler.

At the back, dual center-exit exhaust (V6) or quad exhaust (V8) make the F-TYPE unmistakable to the many people it will leave in its dust. Standard alloy wheels and colored brake calipers (different, depending on the model) complete the look.

The interior blends sportiness and luxury. Both the standard round steering wheel or the R Coupe’s flat-bottomed version feel good in a driver’s hands, and feature redundant audio controls. The interior itself is relatively spacious for a two-seat sports car, and can be upgraded with premium leather.

Safety

Even a car as indulgent as the F-TYPE Coupe needs to address safety. It comes standard with anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, and front and side airbags. With the optional Vision Pack, blind spot monitoring and rear traffic detection are also available.

Bottom Line

The 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE Coupe takes the already-marvelous F-TYPE Convertible and adds an extra dose of style and performance. The coupe’s silhouette is like nothing else on the road right now and, with the R Coupe’s 5.0-liter V8, very few cars will be able to keep up with it.
