Performance and Engine
Under the hood is where the largest difference between F-Type trims can be found. The rear-wheel-drive basic and First Edition versions are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 in the R-Dynamic produces 380 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. The power is controlled by an all-wheel-drive system.
The F-Type R is equipped with a thrilling supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, as well as an all-wheel-drive system.
The eight-speed automatic transmission is standard on all F-Type models, and it may be manually shifted using the gear selector or steering wheel-mounted paddles.
Interior
The cabin of the Jaguar F-Type reflects the vehicle’s performance. The driver’s seat resembles a cockpit, with a grab grip attached to the center console practically isolating the passenger side. Sport seats with a sleek appearance and substantial bolstering are available, with the performance seats looking especially aggressive. The presence of luxury materials is evident among the performance-oriented design, since the majority of the cabin is wrapped in leather.
With few physical knobs and a huge touchscreen, controlling the car settings is simple. The new digital gauge cluster can be customized to meet the needs of the driver. Among competitors, regular seat memory and premium branded audio are frequently expensive options. The interior of the F-Type hasn’t changed much since it was introduced in 2014, making it feel a little antiquated, but a streamlined design and high-quality materials have stopped it from deteriorating too quickly.
