Overall Rating
The Jaguar F-Type Coupe represents the brethren of sports cars that are getting rarer by every passing year. The Jaguar incorporates a very sophisticated supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine which promises 340 ponies in its basic tune.
Performance, comfort, and refinement – the Jaguar F-Type Coupe delivers everything that you can expect from a luxury sports car. The F-Type is an interesting piece of marvel from the British manufacturer that looks somewhat like the legendary Jaguar XK-E. It looks aggressive with sharp and edgy design through-out along with the exquisite interior making sure that you never get the hang of it.
With a base price of $61,400, the 2017 Jaguar F-Type Coupe might seem expensive, but its worth each and every dollar spent. It receives a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. It delivers a berserk performance along with one of the most beautiful exhaust notes in the hostory of the automotive industry. The comfort and convenience take a toll, but for performance-biased drivers, these exceptions will not matter for a long while.
We recommend you to go ahead with the S trim because it adds all the features of the base and Premium trim and also adds high-performance brakes, alloy pedals, configurable driver settings, interior ambient lighting, etc. For those who love to shift their stick manually, the asking price is $79,100, or else you have the option of automatic transmission too.

The Jaguar F-Type Coupe represents the brethren of sports cars that are getting rarer by every passing year. The F-Type incorporates a very sophisticated supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine which promises 340 ponies in its basic tune. The car comes in five different trims, each offering better features as you go higher on the trim table. The base trim comes with standard 18" wheels, a sport exhaust system (bundled with the manual transmission), and an auto-deployed rear spoiler while the Premium trim adds features like the panoramic roof and keyless entry.
The F-Type S comes with a V6 engine tuned for more power. Major changes include adaptive and selectable dampers. The S trim offers configurable drive settings that allow controlling of exhaust volume, the response of the powertrain, and ride stiffness. The interior comes with ambient lighting and flat-bottom steering. The R and SVR trims come with a supercharged V8 engine albeit with different power tuning. The R trim is offered with heated performance seats with premium leather. Notable options are carbon-ceramic brakes, a heated windshield, a carbon fiber coupe roof, and additional interior leather surfaces.

Buying Advice
We recommend you to go ahead with the S trim because it adds all the features of the base and Premium trim and also adds high-performance brakes, alloy pedals, configurable driver settings, interior ambient lighting, etc. For those who love to shift their stick manually, the asking price is $79,100, or else you have the option of automatic transmission too.
The Jaguar F-Type isn't all bark, it bites hard with the available V6 and V8 engine options. The base and Premium trim is offered with a supercharged V6 engine. The V6 engine sings like its Italian and German counterparts. The engine in the base trim produces 340 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. The peak torque of 332 pound-feet is available at 6,500 rpm. In the S trim, the power is boosted to 380 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. Both of these engines are mated to a six-speed manual transmission by default or the optional ZF 8-speed automatic. If you get the 380 hp version, you can also get an all-wheel-drive with the automatic transmission.
The main showstopper in the engine line-up is the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 producing 550 fire-breathing horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. This engine is mated only to an 8-speed automatic and only to the all-wheel-drive system. Supercharged engines are special and they respond better to even the minutest of throttle response. Unlike turbos, even a millimeter of pedal depression yields a linear response from the engine. Moreover, with superchargers, no turbo lag hampers you from enjoying the throaty roar of the engine.

In terms of peak power and torque, the BMW M2 posts segment-best figures. The pricey Jaguar F-Type closely follows the Beemer with its 25 hp deficit. The Porsche 718 Cayman stands above the Audi TTS offer in terms of power but shares the same torque. When it comes to the base price tag, Jaguar is the most expensive option whereas the BMW and Audi stand last together with a sticker price of $52,500.
A 3.0-liter V6 engine would be a hoot to drive in any car. But the Jaguar's V6 is even more special - it is supercharged. As fellow car enthusiasts and lovers, few of us would argue about the high shrieked wail from a supercharged engine. It is a sensation that makes driving a lot more enjoyable. These supercharged engines take power directly from the engine, but in the process, make use of precious power to generate boost pressure.
While the turbos make use of wasted exhaust gases to spin their compressor, turbos even with the compromise of a - turbo-lag happen to be more efficient. The supercharged engines are complicated systems and also add extra weight to the structure. The F-Type's supercharger uses a classic roots-type supercharger which yields better low-end torque. This is the primary reason why the Jag unleashes itself instantly when you floor the throttle.

In the 0-60 mph test, the base F-Type takes 5.1 seconds to complete and goes ahead for the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds. This figure gets a lot better as we go up the trim ladder. When compared to the F-Type, the M2 and the Cayman score a better 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds and 4.9 seconds, respectively. On the other hand, the TTS is the slowest amongst all the rivals with a 0-60 mph timing of 5.2 seconds.
In its bare-bones form, the F-Type sticks to the tried and tested sports car formula. A powerful engine that sits upon a beautifully balanced chassis. The F-Type Coupe is a warm fit for the driver and the passenger. Truth be said, the ride is choppy at slower speeds and the only way to better the ride quality is to, well, drive faster. The suspension is tuned on the stiffer side, which is okay for a sports car, but in the F-Type's case, this tuning is a notch higher.
The undulations on the road surface filter into the cabin. And if you are over a rough patch, then the Jag can be unforgiving. Longer rides can be uncomfortable due to the aforementioned suspension and firm bolstering. The ride is rougher than the competition. In the end, the ride is leaning more towards the sporty side.
When you shell out an amount of more than $61,000, you expect the experience to be worth the sum paid. Sadly, the Jaguar F-Type in its base trim falls short of everyone's expectations. The brakes lag at times and feel unconnected. The pedal travel is short but it takes its time to get into action.
The Juggernaut of 3,455 pounds comes to a stop from 60 mph within 116 feet. The F-Type provides better braking on the higher trims. You need to spend more to get those upgraded brakes, which shorten the stopping distance to sub 100 feet.

Owing to its lighter weight, the Porsche Cayman scores an impressive 99.8 feet of stopping distance. Tailing it is the Audi TTS with 103 feet, followed by the BMW M2 with 108 feet. Due to its heavyweight and slow brakes, the F-Type takes the longest stoppest distance. The closest rival of Jaguar in curb weight is the BMW M2 with 3,405 lbs of weight.
Even by sports car standards, the Jaguar F-Type scores really low in fuel economy tests. The Jaguar F-Type coupe is rated at 16 mpg in the cities, 24 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg combined. Owing to its 18.5-gallon fuel tank capacity, the coupe delivers a combined range of 370 miles.

The Porsche Cayman delivers a combined fuel efficiency output of 24 mpg, just a little behind the TTS's. The Audi TTS gives the most fuel economy at 25 mpg combined. The Beemer’s fuel economy is behind in this segment, at 21 mpg combined but better than the F-Type's. With just a combined mpg of 19, the F-Type is the least fuel-efficient car in this competition and stands last on the table.
The seating inside the interior of the Jaguar F-Type suffers from the "sports car syndrome". The cabin is a snug fit for two and the seats are firm and come with a high level of bolstering. The seats, with their stiffness and bolstering, are not too comfortable for longer rides. The supercharged engine makes the cabin a pretty lively place.
The wail of the superchargers is music for some but few will not agree with this soundtrack. With 43 inches of legroom, there is enough space to rest your legs. But people with longer torsos might find proportions a bit too cramped for their liking. Then, again sports cars do not fare well on the practical side of things.

Portraying as a true sports coupe, the F-Type and the Cayman seats only two individuals, while the M2 and the TTS extend to four. The head and legroom offered by the Beemer in both rows is quite competitive and good for six-footers while the TTS’ rear legroom might feel congested for adults. Some of the main highlights of its interior are:
The Jaguar F-Type has got laptop-like technology but it still retains the sweet touch of switches and toggles. The new infotainment system has brought the Jag a lot closer to its contemporaries. This system blends in with the F-Type's interior without drawing any unwarranted attention to itself.
This InControl Touch system comes with an 8-inch touchscreen. This system is compatible with Android and Apple via a USB connection. It also offers 3-D maps, a surround sound system, and emergency services like roadside assistance. Some of the other features include:
The Jaguar F-Type doesn't have generous cargo space. Every sports car suffers there. So, in Jag's case, it is nothing too special. All you manage are a couple of duffel bags. The cargo bay isn't suited to do any heavy lifting duty. The F-Type offers 11 cubic feet of cargo space, which is decent according to the segment standards.

In comparison, the only car to perform worse than Jaguar is the Porsche 718 Cayman as it offers a cargo space of just 9.7 cubic feet. The other two coupes on the table, Audi TTS and BMW M2, offer better cargo capacity of 12.0 cubic feet and 13.8 cubic feet, respectively.
The base trim of the Jaguar F-Type is low on features, but it delivers impeccable styling. People surely treat F-Type differently from the other edgy sports cars. This generation of F-Type is Callum's masterpiece which invokes candid admiration from onlookers. The F-Type heavily draws from its rich Jaguar heritage.
The headlights surely have that look from yesteryears but the F-Type looks rather spectacular from the rear angle. Dimensionally, the F-Type follows the contemporary figures. One interesting figure is the 4.2-inch of ground clearance. The F-Type hugs the ground as close it is possible. Weighing in at 3,455 pounds, the F-Type is one of the heavyweights in the segment.

At 106 inches, the BMW M2 flaunts with the widest wheelbase. This directly mirrors its spacious interior. The Jaguar F-Type sits very low to the ground at 4.2 inches which means egress and ingress to the vehicle is easy. The low curb weight of the Porsche 718 Cayman plays a significant role in the vehicle's on-road performance. Some of the cool exterior highlights of the F-Type are:
As usual with sports cars, neither NHTSA nor IIHS has crash-tested the 2017 Jaguar F-Type, and hence, the safety ratings are not available. The coupe is strongly built with tough materials to resist the crushes during a crash. Also, there are sufficient safety features provided to avoid such cases. Some of the safety features include:
The Porsche 718 Cayman comes at a sticker price of $53,900. The iconic high-pitched soundtrack of the flat-six engine at redline is thoroughly missed on the new turbocharged unit. To redeem itself, the Cayman offers more power and torque in the 2017 model.
The Cayman is significantly lighter than the F-Type. At least in the base trim, the Cayman has better naught to 60 mph time. Being a Porsche, it sits at the epitome of this segment. The new engine is smaller but more powerful and definitely keeps the running costs in check.
The BMW M2 Coupe is priced at $52,500. The M2 offers great handling that inspires spirited driving. Compared to the Jag, the M2 offers better practicality with a cabin that can accommodate four people. The 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine is rated for 365 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque.
The M2 brings in more power at a lesser price, unlike the F-Type, which is the costliest car in this competition. The M2's suspension can be a bit too stiff for more everyday rides. The lack of interior options is also another flaw. The cabin is adequately insulated, but at higher speeds, it is a different story.
The TTS is Audi's smallest sports coupe. It comes with a sticker price of $52,500. The TTS boasts of a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit, which is tuned for 292 hp of power. The TTS is offered with Audi's Quattro (AWD) system, which is definitely better than the AWD offered by Jaguar. Almost in all aspects, the TTS is similar to the F-Type. The TTS is a joy to ride around the twisties.
After the major redesign in 2016, the TTS comes stacked with goodies like Audi's virtual cockpit, a single instrument-mounted 12.3-inch display, and an infotainment system with a 4G LTE WI-FI hotspot. On the contrary, the Jag’s infotainment system could be better.
Priced at $ 61,400, the 2017 Jaguar F-Type Coupe represents the brethren of sports cars that are getting rarer by every passing year. The F-Type incorporates a very sophisticated supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine which promises 340 ponies in its basic tune. Unlike every other turbocharged machine out there, this machine promises an unmatched clag-free driving pleasure. The interior of the F-Type is nothing when compared to the exterior. You can look at it for years and still end up finding it more beautiful than ever. It is hard to point out the shortcomings of the Jaguar F-Type, but the Jag takes a great toll on the bank. These things are no cheap things. If you are really looking to get the most out of the Jaguar F-Type, then it might cost you around $100,000.
