Jaguar will honor the brand's racing heritage with a new special-edition F-Type for the 2020 model year, the company announced Wednesday. The F-Type Checkered Flag Limited Edition will race into dealerships equipped with numerous special touches.
Based on the R Dynamic model and available in both coupe and convertible body styles, the Checkered Flag Limited Edition is available exclusively in Caldera Red, Fuji White, or Carpathian Gray. All coupes receive a black-contrast roof paired with one of the three color options, while both coupes and convertibles gain the Exterior Black Design Pack as standard, which features extended side sills in, you guessed, black. Also standard are 20-inch black wheels with a unique design, special badging, and red brake calipers.
2020 Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag Edition
The interior receives Ebony Windsor Leather and standard performance seats. The standard delta aluminum center console trim is also swapped for a dark brushed aluminum trim to compliment the dark leather. Buyers also get color-contrast stitching in either red or cirrus. Checkered flag branding is debossed into the headrests, and a checkered flag logo is present on the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, finished in a red leather band.
2020 Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag Edition
All Checkered Flag Limited Editions come with an infotainment system that includes a standard 10-inch infotainment screen and premium Meridian audio. As for options, buyers can select heated and cooled performance seats.
CHECK OUT: Jaguar reportedly considering electric option for F-Type
Jaguar will offer the Checkered Flag Limited Edition on both the rear-wheel-drive F-Type with the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine and the all-wheel-drive model powered by the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6. The former produces 296 horsepower, and the version with two extra cylinders creates 380 hp.
2020 Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag Edition
Pricing for the F-Type Checkered Flag Limited Edition starts at $72,925 for a 2.0-liter coupe, and rises to $75,325 for a convertible, including destination. Those who need the extra power (and wonderful soundtrack) from the V-6 will need to pony up $95,525 for a coupe and $97,925 for a convertible.
The prices reflect about a $10,000 increase over the base F-Type coupe for a turbo-4 model, which starts at $62,625, and a $7,000 premium over a similarly equipped F-Type AWD with the supercharged V-6, which costs $88,325.
Jaguar revealed a significant mid-cycle refresh for its suave F-Type late last year. The two-door Jag received a host of exterior tweaks along with a digital upgrade inside, and more power under the hood for the R model. What we didn’t know was the cost for various F-Type trim levels, but that’s no longer the case. Jaguar has released prices for all 2021 F-Type models in the U.S., and there’s a pleasant surprise for base-model and R-Dynamic buyers.
save over $3,400 on average off MSRP* on a new Jaguar F-TYPE
The entry-level F-Type holds steady at $61,600 for the coupe and $64,700 for the convertible. Base price for the Type R-Dynamic AWD, however, drops a whopping $5,500 from the current model regardless of which roof you choose. You will pay extra for the F-Type R – the new base price is $1,400 more for the coupe and $1,000 more for the drop-top. Still, that’s not terrible considering the tech upgrade, never mind the 575-horsepower (429-kilowatt) supercharged V8 from the SVR that now sits under the hood. Prices do not include $1,025 in destination/handling charges.
Trim Level | Powertrain | Horsepower | MSRP (Coupe/Conv) |
F-Type | 2.0L I4 Turbo RWD | 296 | $61,600 / $64,700 |
F-Type First Edition | 2.0L I4 Turbo RWD | 296 | $73,100 / $75,400 |
F-Type R-Dynamic | 3.0L V6 SC AWD | 380 | $81,800 / $84,900 |
F-Type R | 5.0L V8 SC AWD | 575 | $103,200 / $105,900 |
Jaguar also offers an F-Type First Edition for 2021, which is a bit odd for a mid-cycle refresh. It is based on the R-Dynamic model, but features the less-powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood. It further gains an exterior trim package in Dark Datin Gray, along with gray 20-inch wheels.
The updates for the entire F-Type line include a completely new front fascia with narrow headlights and a resculptured hood. New taillights are also installed at the rear, and interiors now make use of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster in place of analog gauges. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with over-the-air updates enter the scene as well. In addition to more power in the F-Type R, the muscular coupe also rides on tweaked suspension components including springs, dampers, sway bars, and rear knuckles.
Jaguar says order banks are now open for the 2021 F-Type. Delivery dates, however, aren’t yet known.
The Jaguar F-type is a quintessential sports car, with a head-turning design and high-octane performance. This Jaguar two-seater takes form as either a sleek coupe or a stunning convertible. Along with a snarling supercharged V-6, the 2020 F-type offers a more affordable turbocharged four-cylinder engine. While every version is engaging to drive, with sharp handling characteristic and decent ride comfort, the F-type lacks a manual transmission. It has many desirable options and a driver-centric interior, but the F-type is less practical and not as dynamic as some of the best sports cars. Still, the Jaguar F-type R and SVR—reviewed separately—deliver added intensity while the regular F-type pleases our eyes and senses.
The 2020 F-type receives more standard features, two more paint colors, and a new Checkered Flag limited-edition model. Available with the turbocharged four-cylinder and the 380-hp supercharged V-6, the latter brings exclusive interior and exterior features. Every F-type adds a refreshed infotainment interface and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Likewise, the lineup adds standard front parking sensors. Eiger Grey and Portofino Blue join the list of available paint colors, too. Unfortunately, Jaguar no longer offers a manual transmission on the 2020 F-type.
The 2020 Jaguar F-type is a gorgeous sports car that can be had as a coupe or convertible. However, the drop-top version adds between $2400 and $3100 to the price. While an open-air driving experience is fun and flashy, we'd stick with the coupe body style and choose the mid-level P340 with the 340-hp supercharged V-6 and rear-wheel drive. We'd enhance the F-type's roster of standard features with the fixed panoramic sunroof, high-beam assist, Climate 1 package (dual-zone climate zone, heated steering wheel, heated windshield), switchable exhaust system, and blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. These add-ons help make the F-type fancier and more enjoyable.
Likes: Symphonic exhaust note, engaging handling, well-sorted ride.
Dislikes: Stop/start function elicits a startling brap!, nearly every competitor performs better, no manual transmission.
The entry-level F-type is a rear-drive coupe with a 296-hp turbo four-cylinder. It uses the same eight-speed automatic transmission found on its supercharged siblings. We only wish Jaguar hadn't ditched the previously available six-speed manual. Still, we've tested the least powerful powertrain and found it mostly enjoyable. Next in the lineup are two supercharged V-6 engines, tuned to either 340 or 380 horsepower depending on the model. All-wheel drive is available, but only with the more powerful V-6 models, which helps it put the power to the ground efficiently. No discussion of the F-type's powertrain is complete without mentioning its wicked exhaust note. The brash, attention-grabbing exhaust growl draws eyes to the F-type, while its gorgeous design keeps them there.
Jaguar
The F-type looks hot and does well on the track by objective standards, but where performance is concerned, it simply can't match outstanding competitors such as the Chevy Corvette or the Porsche 718 Cayman. The Jag is athletic and responsive, and a fun companion for charging down serpentine roads. For a sports car, however, the steering effort and feel are a bit light for our tastes. The ride is firm but comfortable and mostly disguises harsh impacts. In our testing, the F-type braked to a stop from 70 mph in 150 feet. In most segments, that would be a standout result, but as the F-type is pitted against some of the best cars on the road, it is merely adequate.
The V-6's EPA estimates—which don't vary based on the two available horsepower ratings—aren't quite as impressive as the four-cylinder's, but they still match up reasonably well with the rest of the class. However, we haven't tested any of the engines that are currently available on the 2020 F-type.
Likes: Simple center-dash design, wide array of available features, relatively roomy center console.
Dislikes: Low cabin is hard to exit, convertible has extremely limited cargo space.
The F-type's interior is small but well appointed. Leather and suede front seats are standard, with premium leather available at extra cost. Electric adjustments for the seats and steering wheel are standard in every F-type, as they should be in cars of this caliber, but more desirable features such as a heated steering wheel and seats cost extra. There's plenty of legroom but not much headroom inside the coupe, even compared with the other small cars in this set.
Jaguar
Every F-type comes standard with the same 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The F-type is replete with charging ports and other outlets. Two USB ports and a 12-volt outlet mean that no one should find themselves without a fully charged phone.
One should never expect that a car of the F-type's genre will be a good pack mule, but virtually every other car in this class is more versatile as a cargo hauler than Jaguar's entrant. If you plan on road-tripping in the convertible, pack light: it has barely enough trunk space for a single carry-on bag.
The F-type hasn't been tested by either crash-ratings agency, and with no back seat, there's also no place for passengers. Automated emergency braking and forward-collision warning are standard, though, and heaps of other driver-assistance technology are just a few hundred dollars away. Key safety features include:
Jaguar's warranty is pure simplicity. That coverage includes lengthy complimentary scheduled maintenance, a standout feature not just in this class but in the marketplace at large.
If you're the type of person who doesn't like following crowds but still likes to attract their attention with a loud exhaust, the Jaguar F-Type R may be the sports coupe for you. Despite its subtle and elegant looks, the British beast is something of a monster, packing 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque under the hood. This is thanks to a supercharged V8 with five liters of capacity. Fear not about how to get that power to the ground - this speedster features an all-wheel-drive system that allows you to scrabble from 0-60 mph in under four seconds. While competitors like the Porsche 911 may be more common, it's cars like the F-Type R that offer a unique way of getting from one point to another fast, and that's part of its charm.
For 2020, all Jaguar's new models come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. You also now get front parking sensors on the F-Type R, adding to those already existing on the back.

The classically styled F-Type R is curvy in all the right places, with a long sweeping hood featuring LED headlights at the end of it. Larger side grilles than those on lesser F-Type models feature, along with standard 20-inch wheels. At the short back end, LED taillights and a quad-exit exhaust finish off the look. That sweeping roofline can also be had with panoramic glass or even a full carbon fiber panel.
The F-Type R's dimensions measure 176.5 inches in length with a wheelbase of just 103.2 inches - par for the course if you want an agile sports car. Width measures 74.2 inches across, while height is 51.6 inches. Curb weight starts at 3,814 lbs. This makes it heavier than any lesser variant, as the 2.0-liter models weigh around 3,400 lbs while the V6 starts at around 3,500 lbs.

You're spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a paint finish for your F-Type R. Fuji White, Narvik Black, and Caldera Red are your solid paint choices, but if you want a bit more sparkle in your life, metallic options include the classic British Racing Green of course, along with Yulong White, Santorini Black, Indus Silver, Ultra Blue, Eiger Grey, and Portofino Blue. Premium Metallic paint costs extra, with Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver setting you back $1,550 each. Then there's the SVO Premium Palette, a range of 15 different $4,900 finishes that includes, but is not limited to, Mescalito Black, Verbier Silver, and the incredibly striking (if a little OTT) Madagascar Orange. But wait, there's more! If you really want to splurge, you can spend $8,500 on one of three Special Effect finishes: Spectral Racing Red, Valloire White, or Meribel White and matte finishes are also available at an extra charge. You can also opt to have the standard red brake calipers painted black for $510.
The R is a standalone model, sitting above all non-V8 variants and just below the hardcore SVR. Its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 produces 550 horses and 502 lb-ft of torque, with an all-wheel-drive system maximizing grip and off-the-line traction. As a result, the F-Type R accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 186 mph, or 300 kph in the Queen's English. Coupled with an active exhaust system, the R sounds absolutely mental and blows away any preconceptions that the sumptuous body design may have given you. It may look pretty, but it sounds raucous and goes like absolute stink. Where turbocharged rivals are often muted and less responsive than their unassisted counterparts, the Jag gets up and goes, snarling all the way up and down the rev range. Your neighbors may resent your acquisition of one of these, but the smile it will put on your face will be good enough reason to justify living with their abuse.
Just one engine and transmission configuration is available for the R. Sadly, the manual gearbox is all but dead over at Jaguar, but the ZF eight-speed automatic that resides in its place is a tried and tested workhorse that changes gear effortlessly. In hard driving, the transmission changes up (or down) quicker than you can blink, with none of the delay associated with automatics of yore. When you're sitting back and relaxing, the shifts are equally delightful, with a smooth and delicate transition between ratios that will make you forget it's even happening. Naturally, you can take control yourself and shift via the steering-mounted paddles too, but the calibration of this setup is already near perfect in automatic mode. Porsche's PDK is even better, but at its lower price point, the Jag holds its own.
The engine is just as satisfying, with plenty of grunt and a willingness to rev that encourages spirited driving. The 5.0-liter V8 is supercharged to produce 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque, so although the R is heavier than its V6 siblings, acceleration in any gear is sharp and shocking. Thus, overtaking is just as effortless as changing gears, and the overall package is a good one.

Although not as crazy as the top SVR model, the "entry-level" V8 F-Type is still a pretty hardcore machine. Despite adaptive dampers, the R's focus is an emphasis on agility and handling prowess, with suspension that minimizes body roll at the expense of comfort. The large brakes are also highly capable, but a touch too grabby at lower speeds. If you really want to pull the make-up and lash extensions off your partner's face, carbon ceramics are available too. In terms of steering, you get that direct and sharp turn-in ability that you'd expect from a true sports car, but since its electrically-assisted and hasn't been perfected yet, the wheel lacks true feel. Essentially, the F-Type R coupe is a much more visceral and focused vehicle than you'd expect from something so pretty, but while this has its downsides from a daily-driving point of view, the result is an incredibly grippy sports car that clings to the tarmac with dogged determination, and only the most ridiculously ham-fisted driving or lack of interest in seeing the dawn of a new day will see an F-Type owner get the R to understeer. Thanks to a rear bias on the all-wheel-drive system, you can also feel strong propulsion out of corners and a level of agility that the car's weight belies. Daily-drivable? Probably not. Fun? Definitely.
The F-Type R's thirsty engine won't win the hearts of any environmentalists when you start it up and they hear all that so-called noise pollution. When they see the economy figures, they'll actively begin to hate it. It's not the worst in its class, but it's no eco-warrior either. Official EPA estimates are rated at 16/24/18 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles. Thanks to an 18.5-gallon gas tank, its range is a respectable 333 miles with mixed driving.

* 2020 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Automatic AWD
The F-Type R gets a V8 but also special treatment in the cabin, with Windsor leather as standard. In addition, you get a large ten-inch touchscreen infotainment display that is now standard across the range, along with 12-way power-adjustable seats and even a solar attenuating windscreen to help keep the cabin cool on hot days. However, despite strong build quality and a good mix of premium materials, the R is not the greatest place to sit, particularly in standard form. Single-zone climate control is equipped, and you have to pay extra for features like dual-zone or heated and ventilated seats. On the plus side, the design is attractive and an excellent sound system is standard.
So, those seats. They're 12-way power-adjustable and swathed in rich leather. They're also supportive and relatively comfortable, but those over six-foot will find a shortage of headroom and legroom. You won't be hunched over the steering wheel, but you can't properly relax either. They're called R Performance seats, and as the name suggests, they're designed to keep your body firmly in place rather than in luxury. The view out the front is fairly good, but the back window is tiny and the optional blind-spot monitoring will be worth shelling out an extra $500 on. Overall, this is a confining cabin that you'll not want to spend a lot of time in unless you have masochistic tendencies or a resemblance in size to your average garden gnome. If your passenger has a contagious illness, a trip to your local hospital would be well-advised since the pair of you will have exchanged the contents of your lungs repeatedly. At least then you can get your back checked out too, since the suspension has probably thrown some shapes there.
Seating capacity

Front Leg Room42.8 in

As standard, the R coupe comes with Windsor leather upholstery, with a choice of either Ebony leather with Ebony stitching or Ebony leather with Ivory stitching. Ebony leather with either Siena Ran or Pimento red stitching is also available. Ivory leather with contrasting Ebony or Pimento leather with the same contrast can also be had at no extra cost, as can Siena Tan two-tone leather. Alternatively, you can fork out $1,020 for Ebony leather with suede inserts, or $2,550 for a choice between Pimento or Siena Tan leather with extended interior coverage. The headlining can also be played with and you can have suede there for $970 or Ebony leather for $2,245. Three different aluminum trim finishes for the center console can be had at no cost, while carbon fiber costs $765. Red seatbelts can also be specced for $360, while brushed aluminum accents feature throughout the cabin as standard.
The F-Type R coupe offers a 14.4 cubic-foot trunk but if you think that means plenty of space, you're unfortunately mistaken. The trunk is long but shallow and very narrow, which makes it near impossible to carry anything more than an overnight bag or two. Even a golf bag, something quintessential to the typical Jag-owner stereotype, won't fit.
In the cabin, you get narrow door cards and a tiny glovebox, along with a pair of shallow cupholders. Essentially, this car is all about its performance and offers little practical ability.
The F-Type R coupe features a number of the standard features you'd expect in a vehicle at this price point, including keyless entry, an active exhaust system, configurable ambient lighting, heated mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers. Its windscreen also features solar attenuating glass, which helps reduce heat from sunlight passing through. In addition, you get adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, adaptive dampers, a driver condition monitor, a rearview camera, and advanced safety features like lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking. However, the air-conditioning is single-zone, requiring you to shell out extra for dual-zone. Other options include a panoramic glass roof, automatic high beams, heated or heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, a power tailgate, a heated windscreen, park assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
If you're hoping that the infotainment system makes living with the F-Type a little easier, you're about to be disappointed again. Yes, for 2020 Jaguar has gifted us with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and you also get navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, Bluetooth, and a USB port. However, the system doesn't respond particularly quickly and is confusing to navigate. Fortunately, the ten-inch touchscreen InControl infotainment setup is at least hooked up to a powerful ten-speaker Meridian sound system, with a 12-speaker upgrade available.
Thus far, one recall has been issued for the 2020 model, with the announcement coming in late September of last year. The recall was for an incorrect tire placard label, and no other issues have since been unearthed.
Should anything go wrong, the F-Type R is covered by an excellent five-year/60,000-mile limited warranty, with roadside assistance and complimentary scheduled maintenance included for the same period too.

Neither the IIHS nor the NHTSA has crash-tested the F-Type, although that is not uncommon at this price level. With a number of standard and available safety features, we expect the coupe would perform well.
As standard, the F-Type R comes with lane-keep assist, a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition. You also get brake assist and a driver condition monitor as standard. Six airbags are standard too, with frontal, side-impact, and curtain airbags fitted. Forward-collision warning with autonomous emergency braking is also included, but a park assist system and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert will cost you a little extra.
The F-Type R is a monstrous, rabid machine of raw power, noise, and breathtaking acceleration. Its brakes are strong enough to stop world wars and its suspension is stiff enough to remind you of the days when you were young and virile. Unfortunately, if you can afford a car like this, chances are that you've been through enough in your lifetime - possibly a world war or scurvy. If that's the case, the last thing you want from your sports car is to contort your body into shapes that it was not created for, just to fit in it, and once seated you don't want to have to drive directly to your nearest chiropractor or be so close to your passenger that you can taste the flavor of their chewing gum. The R is a fine machine for the track-day enthusiast, but if you attempt to use it for anything else, it'll provide more irritation and unpleasant discomfort than any top speed claim is worth. Rather get a Porsche. You may struggle to stand out, but at least after driving one, you'll be able to stand in the first place.
Pricing for the 2020 Jaguar F-Type R coupe starts at the considerable sum of $101,800, before a delivery and destination charge of $1,025. Fully loaded with almost $39,000 worth of options, we specced an R in the online configurator to the final price of $141,669.
The F-Type R is a standalone V8 model, with a supercharged 5.0-liter engine producing 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. No manual gearbox is available, with an eight-speed automatic as your only transmission option. As standard, you get 20-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, R Performance seats with 12-way power adjustments, and Windsor leather. You also get keyless entry with push-button start, configurable ambient lighting, and an active exhaust system. Adaptive dampers, adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition, parking sensors, lane keep assist, and single-zone climate control are also standard, along with a ten-inch touchscreen infotainment display with SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD Radio, and ten Meridian speakers. A Wi-Fi hotspot and navigation round out the basic standard equipment, but if you're willing to pay extra, this all-wheel-drive sports car can be fitted with additional amenities including dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power tailgate. Also available are features like carbon-ceramic brakes, a panoramic glass roof, park assist, and blind-spot monitoring. If you like carbon fiber, bits of it can be applied to the exterior vents and other accents, or you can even have the roof made from the composite.
The R Coupe can be extensively upgraded, and one addition we'd consider is called Climate Package 1. This costs $1,125 and adds a heated windshield, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. Carbon-ceramic brakes are also available for the whopping fee of $12,240, but features like a power tailgate are more affordable, at $410. The upgraded 12-speaker Meridian sound system costs $870, while park assist and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert are standalone options at $510 and $500 respectively. Heated seats are also $500, while heated and ventilated chairs will set you back 800 bucks.
The Jag F-Type R comes in a single variant, so your choices will be limited to what options you choose to add. We would definitely recommend Climate Package 1 for its heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control, and we'd also think that opting for heated and ventilated seats would be a smart choice. We would also highly recommend the affordable options of park assist and blind-spot monitoring, as rearward visibility in the F-Type coupe is rather poor.
The SVR is the R's hardcore sibling. As if it were possible to consider the R Coupe as soft, the SVR turns the discomfort and noise up even further. With 575 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, the SVR's upgraded engine allows it to take further advantage of that all-wheel-drive system, resulting in a sprint from 0-60 of just three and a half seconds. Top speed is improved too, with this model capable of 200 mph. In supercar territory, the SVR has an appropriate price that is over $123,000. For this extra cost, you get numerous carbon-fiber add-ons including a large rear wing, but you also get quilted leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel as standard and even better handling ability. If you really want to decimate lap times, the SVR is perfect, but if you intend to risk some daily driving discomfort, the regular R will be marginally easier to live with.
Thanks to its price and performance, one of the F-Type R's chief rivals is the Porsche 911 Carrera. Although Porsche is infamous for an extensive and expensive options list, it's worth noting that the base model starts at under $100,000. With a twin-turbo flat-six producing 379 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, the 911 doesn't automatically outdo the Brit, but as any Porsche nut will tell you, the figures only tell half the story. The way this thing takes corners, and even more critically, the way it feels when doing so is what has made the German sports car an icon. Its interior is also far more modern and luxurious, thanks in part to a redesign for 2020 that has made every aspect of the 911 even better. The fact that you have four seats, usable trunk space, and a supple suspension setup further cements the 911's place above just about any other sports car. Sorry, Jaguar, but hopefully 2021's F-Type will be better.

If you're the type of person who doesn't like following crowds but still likes to attract their attention with a loud exhaust, the Jaguar F-Type R may be the sports coupe for you. Despite its subtle and elegant looks, the British beast is something of a monster, packing 550 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque under the hood. This is thanks to a supercharged V8 with five liters of capacity. Fear not about how to get that power to the ground - this speedster features an all-wheel-drive system that allows you to scrabble from 0-60 mph in under four seconds. While competitors like the Porsche 911 may be more common, it's cars like the F-Type R that offer a unique way of getting from one point to another fast, and that's part of its charm.
For 2020, all Jaguar's new models come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. You also now get front parking sensors on the F-Type R, adding to those already existing on the back.

The classically styled F-Type R is curvy in all the right places, with a long sweeping hood featuring LED headlights at the end of it. Larger side grilles than those on lesser F-Type models feature, along with standard 20-inch wheels. At the short back end, LED taillights and a quad-exit exhaust finish off the look. That sweeping roofline can also be had with panoramic glass or even a full carbon fiber panel.
The F-Type R's dimensions measure 176.5 inches in length with a wheelbase of just 103.2 inches - par for the course if you want an agile sports car. Width measures 74.2 inches across, while height is 51.6 inches. Curb weight starts at 3,814 lbs. This makes it heavier than any lesser variant, as the 2.0-liter models weigh around 3,400 lbs while the V6 starts at around 3,500 lbs.

You're spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a paint finish for your F-Type R. Fuji White, Narvik Black, and Caldera Red are your solid paint choices, but if you want a bit more sparkle in your life, metallic options include the classic British Racing Green of course, along with Yulong White, Santorini Black, Indus Silver, Ultra Blue, Eiger Grey, and Portofino Blue. Premium Metallic paint costs extra, with Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver setting you back $1,550 each. Then there's the SVO Premium Palette, a range of 15 different $4,900 finishes that includes, but is not limited to, Mescalito Black, Verbier Silver, and the incredibly striking (if a little OTT) Madagascar Orange. But wait, there's more! If you really want to splurge, you can spend $8,500 on one of three Special Effect finishes: Spectral Racing Red, Valloire White, or Meribel White and matte finishes are also available at an extra charge. You can also opt to have the standard red brake calipers painted black for $510.
The R is a standalone model, sitting above all non-V8 variants and just below the hardcore SVR. Its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 produces 550 horses and 502 lb-ft of torque, with an all-wheel-drive system maximizing grip and off-the-line traction. As a result, the F-Type R accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 186 mph, or 300 kph in the Queen's English. Coupled with an active exhaust system, the R sounds absolutely mental and blows away any preconceptions that the sumptuous body design may have given you. It may look pretty, but it sounds raucous and goes like absolute stink. Where turbocharged rivals are often muted and less responsive than their unassisted counterparts, the Jag gets up and goes, snarling all the way up and down the rev range. Your neighbors may resent your acquisition of one of these, but the smile it will put on your face will be good enough reason to justify living with their abuse.
Just one engine and transmission configuration is available for the R. Sadly, the manual gearbox is all but dead over at Jaguar, but the ZF eight-speed automatic that resides in its place is a tried and tested workhorse that changes gear effortlessly. In hard driving, the transmission changes up (or down) quicker than you can blink, with none of the delay associated with automatics of yore. When you're sitting back and relaxing, the shifts are equally delightful, with a smooth and delicate transition between ratios that will make you forget it's even happening. Naturally, you can take control yourself and shift via the steering-mounted paddles too, but the calibration of this setup is already near perfect in automatic mode. Porsche's PDK is even better, but at its lower price point, the Jag holds its own.
The engine is just as satisfying, with plenty of grunt and a willingness to rev that encourages spirited driving. The 5.0-liter V8 is supercharged to produce 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque, so although the R is heavier than its V6 siblings, acceleration in any gear is sharp and shocking. Thus, overtaking is just as effortless as changing gears, and the overall package is a good one.

Although not as crazy as the top SVR model, the "entry-level" V8 F-Type is still a pretty hardcore machine. Despite adaptive dampers, the R's focus is an emphasis on agility and handling prowess, with suspension that minimizes body roll at the expense of comfort. The large brakes are also highly capable, but a touch too grabby at lower speeds. If you really want to pull the make-up and lash extensions off your partner's face, carbon ceramics are available too. In terms of steering, you get that direct and sharp turn-in ability that you'd expect from a true sports car, but since its electrically-assisted and hasn't been perfected yet, the wheel lacks true feel. Essentially, the F-Type R coupe is a much more visceral and focused vehicle than you'd expect from something so pretty, but while this has its downsides from a daily-driving point of view, the result is an incredibly grippy sports car that clings to the tarmac with dogged determination, and only the most ridiculously ham-fisted driving or lack of interest in seeing the dawn of a new day will see an F-Type owner get the R to understeer. Thanks to a rear bias on the all-wheel-drive system, you can also feel strong propulsion out of corners and a level of agility that the car's weight belies. Daily-drivable? Probably not. Fun? Definitely.
The F-Type R's thirsty engine won't win the hearts of any environmentalists when you start it up and they hear all that so-called noise pollution. When they see the economy figures, they'll actively begin to hate it. It's not the worst in its class, but it's no eco-warrior either. Official EPA estimates are rated at 16/24/18 mpg on the city/highway/combined cycles. Thanks to an 18.5-gallon gas tank, its range is a respectable 333 miles with mixed driving.

The F-Type R gets a V8 but also special treatment in the cabin, with Windsor leather as standard. In addition, you get a large ten-inch touchscreen infotainment display that is now standard across the range, along with 12-way power-adjustable seats and even a solar attenuating windscreen to help keep the cabin cool on hot days. However, despite strong build quality and a good mix of premium materials, the R is not the greatest place to sit, particularly in standard form. Single-zone climate control is equipped, and you have to pay extra for features like dual-zone or heated and ventilated seats. On the plus side, the design is attractive and an excellent sound system is standard.
So, those seats. They're 12-way power-adjustable and swathed in rich leather. They're also supportive and relatively comfortable, but those over six-foot will find a shortage of headroom and legroom. You won't be hunched over the steering wheel, but you can't properly relax either. They're called R Performance seats, and as the name suggests, they're designed to keep your body firmly in place rather than in luxury. The view out the front is fairly good, but the back window is tiny and the optional blind-spot monitoring will be worth shelling out an extra $500 on. Overall, this is a confining cabin that you'll not want to spend a lot of time in unless you have masochistic tendencies or a resemblance in size to your average garden gnome. If your passenger has a contagious illness, a trip to your local hospital would be well-advised since the pair of you will have exchanged the contents of your lungs repeatedly. At least then you can get your back checked out too, since the suspension has probably thrown some shapes there.

As standard, the R coupe comes with Windsor leather upholstery, with a choice of either Ebony leather with Ebony stitching or Ebony leather with Ivory stitching. Ebony leather with either Siena Ran or Pimento red stitching is also available. Ivory leather with contrasting Ebony or Pimento leather with the same contrast can also be had at no extra cost, as can Siena Tan two-tone leather. Alternatively, you can fork out $1,020 for Ebony leather with suede inserts, or $2,550 for a choice between Pimento or Siena Tan leather with extended interior coverage. The headlining can also be played with and you can have suede there for $970 or Ebony leather for $2,245. Three different aluminum trim finishes for the center console can be had at no cost, while carbon fiber costs $765. Red seatbelts can also be specced for $360, while brushed aluminum accents feature throughout the cabin as standard.
The F-Type R coupe offers a 14.4 cubic-foot trunk but if you think that means plenty of space, you're unfortunately mistaken. The trunk is long but shallow and very narrow, which makes it near impossible to carry anything more than an overnight bag or two. Even a golf bag, something quintessential to the typical Jag-owner stereotype, won't fit.
In the cabin, you get narrow door cards and a tiny glovebox, along with a pair of shallow cupholders. Essentially, this car is all about its performance and offers little practical ability.
The F-Type R coupe features a number of the standard features you'd expect in a vehicle at this price point, including keyless entry, an active exhaust system, configurable ambient lighting, heated mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers. Its windscreen also features solar attenuating glass, which helps reduce heat from sunlight passing through. In addition, you get adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, adaptive dampers, a driver condition monitor, a rearview camera, and advanced safety features like lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking. However, the air-conditioning is single-zone, requiring you to shell out extra for dual-zone. Other options include a panoramic glass roof, automatic high beams, heated or heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, a power tailgate, a heated windscreen, park assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
If you're hoping that the infotainment system makes living with the F-Type a little easier, you're about to be disappointed again. Yes, for 2020 Jaguar has gifted us with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and you also get navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, Bluetooth, and a USB port. However, the system doesn't respond particularly quickly and is confusing to navigate. Fortunately, the ten-inch touchscreen InControl infotainment setup is at least hooked up to a powerful ten-speaker Meridian sound system, with a 12-speaker upgrade available.
Thus far, one recall has been issued for the 2020 model, with the announcement coming in late September of last year. The recall was for an incorrect tire placard label, and no other issues have since been unearthed.
Should anything go wrong, the F-Type R is covered by an excellent five-year/60,000-mile limited warranty, with roadside assistance and complimentary scheduled maintenance included for the same period too.

Neither the IIHS nor the NHTSA has crash-tested the F-Type, although that is not uncommon at this price level. With a number of standard and available safety features, we expect the coupe would perform well.
As standard, the F-Type R comes with lane-keep assist, a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition. You also get brake assist and a driver condition monitor as standard. Six airbags are standard too, with frontal, side-impact, and curtain airbags fitted. Forward-collision warning with autonomous emergency braking is also included, but a park assist system and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert will cost you a little extra.
The F-Type R is a monstrous, rabid machine of raw power, noise, and breathtaking acceleration. Its brakes are strong enough to stop world wars and its suspension is stiff enough to remind you of the days when you were young and virile. Unfortunately, if you can afford a car like this, chances are that you've been through enough in your lifetime - possibly a world war or scurvy. If that's the case, the last thing you want from your sports car is to contort your body into shapes that it was not created for, just to fit in it, and once seated you don't want to have to drive directly to your nearest chiropractor or be so close to your passenger that you can taste the flavor of their chewing gum. The R is a fine machine for the track-day enthusiast, but if you attempt to use it for anything else, it'll provide more irritation and unpleasant discomfort than any top speed claim is worth. Rather get a Porsche. You may struggle to stand out, but at least after driving one, you'll be able to stand in the first place.
Pricing for the 2020 Jaguar F-Type R coupe starts at the considerable sum of $101,800, before a delivery and destination charge of $1,025. Fully loaded with almost $39,000 worth of options, we specced an R in the online configurator to the final price of $141,669.
The F-Type R is a standalone V8 model, with a supercharged 5.0-liter engine producing 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. No manual gearbox is available, with an eight-speed automatic as your only transmission option. As standard, you get 20-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, R Performance seats with 12-way power adjustments, and Windsor leather. You also get keyless entry with push-button start, configurable ambient lighting, and an active exhaust system. Adaptive dampers, adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition, parking sensors, lane keep assist, and single-zone 2020 jaguar f type control are also standard, along with a ten-inch touchscreen infotainment display with SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD Radio, and ten Meridian speakers. A Wi-Fi hotspot and navigation round out the basic standard equipment, but if you're willing to pay extra, this all-wheel-drive sports car can be fitted with additional amenities including dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power tailgate. Also available are features like carbon-ceramic brakes, a panoramic glass roof, park assist, and blind-spot monitoring. If you like carbon fiber, bits of it can be applied to the exterior vents and other accents, or you can even have the roof made from the composite.
The R Coupe can be extensively upgraded, and one addition we'd consider is called Climate Package 1. This costs $1,125 and adds a heated windshield, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. Carbon-ceramic brakes are also available for the whopping fee of $12,240, but features like a power tailgate are more affordable, at $410. The upgraded 12-speaker Meridian sound system costs $870, while park assist and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert are standalone options at $510 and $500 respectively. Heated seats are also $500, while heated and ventilated chairs will set you back 800 bucks.
The Jag F-Type R comes in a single variant, so your choices will be limited to what options you choose to add. We would definitely recommend Climate Package 1 for its heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control, and we'd also think that opting for heated and ventilated seats would be a smart choice. We would also highly recommend the affordable options of park assist and blind-spot monitoring, as rearward visibility in the F-Type coupe is rather poor.
The SVR is the R's hardcore sibling. As if it were possible to consider the R Coupe as soft, the SVR turns the discomfort and noise up even further. With 575 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, the SVR's upgraded engine allows it to take further advantage of that all-wheel-drive system, resulting in a sprint from 0-60 of just three and a half seconds. Top speed is improved too, with this model capable of 200 mph. In supercar territory, the SVR has an appropriate price that is over $123,000. For this extra cost, you get numerous carbon-fiber add-ons including a large rear wing, but you also get quilted leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel as standard and even better handling ability. If you really want to decimate lap times, the SVR is perfect, but if you intend to risk some daily driving discomfort, the regular R will be marginally easier to live with.
Thanks to its price and performance, one of the F-Type R's chief rivals is the Porsche 911 Carrera. Although Porsche is infamous for an extensive and expensive options list, it's worth noting that the base model starts at under $100,000. With a twin-turbo flat-six producing 379 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, the 911 doesn't automatically outdo the Brit, but as any Porsche nut will tell you, the figures only tell half the story. The way this thing takes corners, and even more critically, the way it feels when doing so is what has made the German sports car an icon. Its interior is also far more modern and luxurious, thanks in part to a redesign for 2020 that has made every aspect of the 911 even better. The fact that you have four seats, usable trunk space, and a supple suspension setup further cements the 911's place above just about any other sports car. Sorry, Jaguar, but hopefully 2021's F-Type will be better.

Jaguar will honor the brand's racing heritage with a new special-edition F-Type for the 2020 model year, the company announced Wednesday. The F-Type Checkered Flag Limited Edition will race into dealerships equipped with numerous special touches.
Based on the R Dynamic model and available in both coupe and convertible body styles, the Checkered Flag Limited Edition is available exclusively in Caldera Red, Fuji White, or Carpathian Gray. All coupes receive a black-contrast roof paired with one of the three color options, while both coupes and convertibles gain the Exterior Black Design Pack as standard, which features extended side sills in, you guessed, black. Also standard are 20-inch black wheels with a unique design, special badging, and red brake calipers.
2020 Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag Edition
The interior receives Ebony Windsor Leather and standard performance seats. The standard delta aluminum center console trim is also swapped for a dark brushed aluminum trim to compliment the dark leather. Buyers also get color-contrast stitching in either red or cirrus. Checkered flag branding is debossed into the headrests, and a checkered flag logo is present on the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, finished in a red leather band.
2020 Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag Edition
All Checkered Flag Limited Editions come with an infotainment system that includes a standard 10-inch infotainment screen and premium Meridian audio. As for options, buyers can select heated and cooled performance seats.

Jaguar will offer the Checkered Flag Limited Edition on both the rear-wheel-drive F-Type with the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine and the all-wheel-drive model powered by the 3.0-liter supercharged V-6. The former produces 296 horsepower, and the version with two extra cylinders creates 380 hp.
2020 Jaguar F-Type Checkered Flag Edition
Pricing for the F-Type Checkered Flag Limited Edition starts at $72,925 for a 2.0-liter coupe, and rises to $75,325 for a convertible, including destination. Those who need the extra power (and wonderful soundtrack) from the V-6 will need to pony up $95,525 for a coupe and $97,925 for a convertible.
The prices reflect about a $10,000 increase over the base F-Type coupe for a turbo-4 model, which starts at $62,625, and a $7,000 premium over a similarly equipped F-Type AWD with the supercharged V-6, which costs $88,325.
The Jaguar F-type is a quintessential sports car, with a head-turning design and high-octane performance. This Jaguar two-seater takes form as either a sleek coupe or a stunning convertible. Along with a snarling supercharged V-6, the 2020 F-type offers a tyra j moore affordable turbocharged 2020 jaguar f type engine. While every version is engaging to drive, with sharp handling characteristic and decent ride comfort, the F-type lacks a manual transmission. It has many desirable options and a driver-centric interior, but the F-type is less practical and not as dynamic as some of the best sports cars. Still, the Jaguar F-type R and SVR—reviewed separately—deliver added intensity while the regular F-type pleases our eyes and senses.
The 2020 F-type receives more standard features, two more paint colors, and a 2020 jaguar f type Checkered Flag limited-edition model. Available with the turbocharged four-cylinder and the 380-hp supercharged V-6, the latter brings exclusive interior and exterior features. Every F-type adds a refreshed infotainment interface and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Likewise, the lineup adds standard front parking sensors. Eiger Grey and Portofino Blue join the list of available paint colors, too. Unfortunately, Jaguar no 2020 jaguar f type offers a manual transmission on the 2020 F-type.
The 2020 Jaguar F-type is a gorgeous sports car that can be had as a coupe or convertible. However, the drop-top version adds between $2400 and $3100 to the price. While an open-air driving experience is fun and flashy, we'd stick with the coupe body style and choose the mid-level P340 with the 340-hp supercharged V-6 and rear-wheel drive. We'd enhance the F-type's roster of standard features with the fixed panoramic sunroof, high-beam assist, Google play store gift card codes india 1 package (dual-zone climate zone, heated steering wheel, heated windshield), switchable exhaust system, and blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. These add-ons help make the F-type fancier and more enjoyable.
Likes: Symphonic exhaust note, engaging handling, well-sorted ride.
Dislikes: Stop/start function elicits a startling brap!, nearly every competitor performs better, no manual transmission.
The entry-level F-type is a rear-drive coupe with a 296-hp turbo four-cylinder. It uses the same eight-speed automatic transmission found on its supercharged siblings. We only wish Jaguar hadn't ditched the previously available six-speed manual. Still, we've tested the least powerful powertrain and found it mostly enjoyable. Next in the lineup are two supercharged V-6 engines, tuned to either 340 or 380 horsepower depending on the model. All-wheel drive is available, but only with the more powerful V-6 models, which helps it put the power to the ground efficiently. No discussion of the F-type's powertrain is complete without mentioning its wicked exhaust note. The brash, attention-grabbing exhaust 2020 jaguar f type draws eyes to the F-type, while its gorgeous design keeps them there.
Jaguar
The F-type looks hot and does well on the track by objective standards, but where performance is concerned, it simply can't match outstanding competitors such as the Chevy Corvette or the Porsche 718 Cayman. The Jag is athletic and responsive, and a fun companion for charging down serpentine roads. For a sports car, however, the steering effort and feel are a bit light for our tastes. The ride is firm but comfortable and mostly disguises harsh impacts. In our 2020 jaguar f type, the F-type braked to a stop from 70 mph in 150 feet. In most segments, that would be a standout result, but as the F-type is pitted against some of the best cars on the road, it is merely adequate.
The V-6's EPA estimates—which don't vary based on the two available horsepower ratings—aren't quite as impressive as the four-cylinder's, but they still match up reasonably well with the rest of the class. However, we haven't tested any of the engines that are currently available on the 2020 F-type.
Likes: Simple center-dash design, wide array of available features, relatively roomy center pay my amazon credit card.
Dislikes: Low cabin is hard to exit, convertible has extremely limited cargo space.
The F-type's interior is small but well appointed. Leather and suede front seats are standard, with premium leather available at extra cost. Electric adjustments for the seats and steering wheel are standard in every F-type, as they should be in cars of this caliber, but more desirable features such as a heated steering wheel and seats cost extra. There's plenty of legroom but not much headroom inside the coupe, even compared with the other small cars in this set.
Jaguar
Every F-type comes standard with the same 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The F-type is replete with charging ports and other outlets. Two USB ports and a 12-volt outlet mean that no one should find themselves without a fully charged phone.
One should never expect that a car of the F-type's genre will be a good pack mule, but virtually every other car in this class is more versatile as a cargo hauler than Jaguar's entrant. If you plan on road-tripping in the convertible, pack light: it has barely enough trunk space for a single carry-on bag.
The F-type hasn't been tested by either crash-ratings agency, and with no back seat, there's also no place for passengers. Automated emergency braking and forward-collision warning are standard, though, and heaps of other driver-assistance technology are just a few hundred dollars away. Key safety features include:
Jaguar's warranty is pure simplicity. That coverage includes lengthy complimentary scheduled maintenance, a standout feature not just in this class but in the marketplace at large.
The 2020 Jaguar F-Type will no doubt be overshadowed by the sleeker 2021 model that’s due out within the year, but that shouldn’t make potential buyers dismissive of the one currently available. This luxury two-seat sports car still oozes debonair cool from every air duct and panel gap.
With the thoroughly refreshed 2021 F-Type fast on its way, changes to the 2020 model were almost nil. The biggest difference over last year is the new Checkered Flag trim, which is a well-equipped limited edition with special badging and trim. The manual transmission F-Type has also shifted its last gear and is no longer available.
The F-Type continues to offer buyers three very different powertrains. The cheapest models are powered by a 296-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-4. The 380-hp supercharged V-6 is optional, as is a 340-hp version of this engine that is set to be discontinued at the end of the model year. At the top of the engine heap is a 550- or 575-hp 5.0-liter supercharged V-8.
Rear-wheel drive is standard, though all-wheel drive is available on most trims and mandatory with the V-8. With the manual gone, an 8-speed automatic handles gearchanges. The F-Type is offered as both a coupe and convertible. Pricing begins at about $62,000 and reaches well past the six-figure mark for a V-8 model.
Its meager sales volume means the NHTSA and IIHS have not crash-tested the F-Type.
The F-Type can be had with all the typical active-safety features now on the market. Standard gear includes automatic emergency 2020 jaguar f type, adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and active lane control. Other safety equipment, such as blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert, are optional.
All prices include $1,025 destination charge.
The F-Type nearly rivals the Porsche 911 for its plethora of models, but there’s a method to Jaguar’s lineup madness. With each of the available engines is one or two trim levels unique to that engine.
The base P300 model ($62,625 for coupe, $65,725 for convertible) begins with the 296-hp turbo-4. Standard features include a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, Meridian audio, and LED headlights.
The P300 Checkered Flag ($72,925 coupe, $75,325 convertible) is also powered by the turbo-4. It adds its own unique badging, wheels, and upholstery.
The P340 ($72,125 coupe, $75,325 convertible) denominates the 340-horse V-6. It is equipped similarly to the P300, with the upcharge going towards the extra 44 hp.
The V-6 is also available as the 380-hp P380 ($85,325 coupe, $88,425 convertible). All-wheel-drive is available here for another $3,000.
The P380 can also be equipped with the Checkered Flag special edition. Here the package includes all-wheel drive and is priced at $95,525 for the coupe and $97,925 for the convertible.
The F-Type R ($102,825 coupe, $105,925 convertible) ditches the horsepower-based nomenclature. Not that it was needed—the 550-hp V-8 R announces itself through its titillating exhaust note. Unique badging and seats and exterior revisions further differentiate the R model. All-wheel drive is standard.
For even more hardcore performance, the SVR ($124,625 coupe, $127,725 convertible) is also available. The SVR wrings out another 25 hp from the V-8, for a total of 575 hp. There’s also performance gear like a switchable active exhaust, a torque-vectoring electronic differential, and unique aerodynamic touches.
The F-Type is classic sports car: long hood, short deck, wide stance, and short stature. The result is a sultry, low-slung two-door coupe that is as expressive and purposeful as anything else on the road.
But it’s the details, more than the proportions, that truly set the F-Type apart. The flanks are pulled taut, the doors tapering inwards from the door handle to the rocker panel, the net effect being a sinewy, muscular look. The long hood looks longer yet with the swept-back headlights. The rear fenders have the old “Coke-bottle” motif, a styling trick that was beautifully executed on many mid-’60s muscle cars and is no less effective here.
The sporting pretensions of the F-Type are as strong inside as they are outside. The cockpit, although tight, is well-tailored to the business of driving. Sightlines are good all around and all the controls are within easy reach. Materials throughout are appropriately high-class.
The big center stack slopes down and out into the center console, and it’s a big reason why the already-small cabin feels even tighter than it is. Dominating the in-dash real estate is a 10-inch touchscreen running the latest Jaguar Pro Touch infotainment system that’s complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system works well and is fairly easy to understand, though most buyers will likely still prefer to pair their phone.
The seats are firm but comfortable, and there’s plenty of leg and head room. The F-Type would be the ideal grand tourer, if it weren’t for its paucity of luggage space: there’s 14 cubic feet for the coupe, and just 7.3 cubic feet for the convertible.
Both open- and closed-roof models are quiet at all speeds. On convertibles the driver and passenger can converse even at highway speeds with the top down. On the high performance models, the active exhaust can be almost muted for even further solace.
With its various powertrains, the F-Type has a broad bandwidth of personality, more so than even most sports cars. But all F-Types, from the P300 to the SVR, boast the same nimble, direct, immediate handling that makes this svelte Jaguar such a world-class sports car.
That’s the case even with the P300 models. Their 296-hp turbo-4 doesn’t sound the most impressive, either on paper or aurally, but it will still have no trouble satisfying the Sunday-cruise crowd. Being the lightest of the available powertrains gives 4-cylinder models a heightened sense of sprightliness as well.
V-6 models 2020 jaguar f type faster and more raucous, which brings a welcome injection of character that makes them worth the upcharge. Their 0-60 mph times come in just 4.8 seconds for the 380-hp P380 models, and a top speed of 161 mph is attainable if you keep your foot in it.
Opting for the V-8 brings plenty of firepower—either 550 or 575 hp, depending on the trim. All-wheel drive is standard with either flavor of V-8, and the added grip helps achieve 3.5-second 0-60 mph runs for the 575-hp SVR.
The added weight of all this hardware does come at the expense of feel though, with the V-8 not having quite the same fleet-footed sensations of the V-6 or turbo-4. Those who prioritize lower weight and more immediate handling over straight-line power might be happier with a rear-wheel-drive P380 than one of the big-engined monsters.
All F-Types use a stiff suspension that never becomes jarring. Moving up the horsepower food chain brings an increasingly stiffer ride, so beyond the turbo-4 models we’d spring for the adaptive dampers that are available. They do a good job mitigating any harshness and make a noticable difference on roads scarred by imperfections.
Stick with the P300 turbo-4 and the EPA estimates fuel economy of 23 mpg city, 30 highway, 26 combined. P340 V-6 models are rated at 20/28/23 mpg. The P380 in rear-drive spec gets 19/27/22 mpg; all-wheel-drive versions promise 18/26/21 mpg. Unsurprisingly, the V-8 models are the thirstiest, with both the R and SVR trims rated at 16/24/18 mpg.
There is no difference in fuel economy between the coupe and convertible.
The 2020 Jaguar F-Type is the archetypal sports car, with alluring styling, fine handling, and powerful engines. Its impressive lineup has room for a thrifty turbo-4 daily driver and a 575-hp track bbva compass locations in florida. We think the sweet spot in the lineup is the P380, which has a relatively reasonable price, plenty of power, and great handling.
