USED JAGUAR F-TYPE

2017 Jaguar F-TYPE

The 2017 Jaguar F-TYPE retains most of the model’s impressively athletic and luxuriant characteristics, but it now comes book-ended by a new entry-level trim on one side and a top-of-the-line trim on the other. The new Jaguar F-TYPE base model starts at $61,400 MSRP but still comes generously equipped with the supercharged 3.0L V6 and standard features like leather and faux-suede upholstery, Jaguar InControl® Apps, and a built-in navigation system. The SVR trim includes a supercharged 5.0L V8 that pushes the Jaguar F-TYPE into the stratosphere with 575 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, while also tacking on a lightweight titanium Inconel® exhaust, updated aerodyamics, and a Carbon Fiber rear wing, among other high-performance features.

2016 Jaguar F-TYPE

For 2016, the Jaguar F-TYPE comes in both coupe and convertible setups, and Jaguar presented the sports car with a six-speed manual transmission on the base trim, as well as available all-wheel drive. Performance-wise, the 2016 model also benefits from electric-assist power steering, while former versions had hydraulic power steering. Also noteworthy is that Jaguar made the previously optional 12-speaker Meridian stereo standard across the Jaguar F-TYPE lineup, which also incorporates Jaguar’s InControl Apps touchscreen interface for smartphone connectivity.

New for the 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE was a coupe format in addition to the convertible model, meaning a new trim called the Jaguar F-TYPE R Coupe. Like the Jaguar F-TYPE V8 S, the Jaguar F-TYPE R Coupe trim gets a supercharged V8 engine, but power boosts to 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. Otherwise, the 2015 model hit the market essentially unchanged from its predecessor. Also important to note, though, are features on the Jaguar F-TYPE, like a Meridian audio system, a stop-start engine shutoff function, and bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights.

The 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE went on sale in spring 2014 as an all-new model for the automaker. There were three distinct trims—the Jaguar F-TYPE, the Jaguar F-TYPE S, and the Jaguar F-TYPE V8 S. The base trim comes powered by a supercharged 3.0L V6 engine, which makes a capable 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque and sprints to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. On the Jaguar F-TYPE S, output jumps to 380 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque.

Available with the Jaguar F-TYPE V8 S trim is a supercharged 5.0L V8 engine, which is good for 495 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque and reaches 60 mph in a swift 4.2 seconds. All powertrains are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. Additionally, an eight-inch touchscreen display, a navigation system, headlight washers, and a deployable rear spoiler come standard, among other nifty features.
