The Perfect Ride for…
Those who enjoy the experience of powering over a country road or through cities from behind the wheel of a sports car. This model offers enough storage to fit a few carry-on bags, making it the perfect vehicle for an impromptu trip down the coast or to your next dream destination. The F-TYPE isn’t a vehicle made just to transport you; it’s a model that was built to ignite your senses and provide a thrilling drive.
Drive & Handling
If you’re just joining the Jaguar family or plan on using your F-TYPE for Sunday drives, try the base model powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder that produces 296 horsepower. From there, a variety of trims provide plenty of options to satisfy your need for speed. If you find yourself choosing the top SVR trim with its 5.0-liter supercharged V8, you’ll be happy to hear the model can produce 575 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This trim is track-ready.
Jaguar engineers designed the F-TYPE to have a weight balance that allows the model to handle twists, turns, and quick corners with precision. Steering is quick, and firm braking will bring you from 60-0 mph in just 106 feet with little nosedive action in the front. The F-TYPE makes it easy for you to rule the road.
Key Features
InControl® Touch Pro™
Operate all of your in-vehicle infotainment features from the 8-inch touchscreen nestled neatly into the dash just to the right of the steering wheel. Swipe and pinch gestures are useful when using the system for navigation, while voice controls make it simple to deliver audible commands. The home screen is fully customizable, and the system even comes with the Spotify® app.
Driver Assistance Features
At Jaguar, performance and safety go hand in hand. Drive confidently with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition, rearview camera, and a self-parking system that are all available across the F-TYPE trims.
Alternative Options
The Jaguar XF is a luxury sedan that offers more cargo room and seating for four, making it a great vehicle for small families. Plus, it was named ‘Best Sedan’ in its segment at the Golden Steering Wheel awards, Germany’s top vehicle honors. If you’re searching for something slightly more luxurious, drive the Jaguar XJ for a vehicle that delivers sportier performance in a sleek package.
