"The Jaguar F-Type offers style and performance by the bucketload to combine very good classical grace with modernity."
As a spiritual successor of the great Jaguar E-Type, the Jaguar F-Type Coupe much to live. Fortunately for the most part at least it provides. It is certainly so in terms of style and performance, with just about everyone agree that it looks fantastic while choosing the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 petrol engines, the proper implementation of Pep car provides.
The F-Type experience is dominated by its engines. The entry-level model gets a 335bhp version of Jaguar supercharged 3.0-liter V6, while next up is the S, which has an updated version of the same engine, producing 375bhp. Next, the V8-powered R with 542bhp, a 567bhp SVR as the ultimate F-Type.

, the entry-level version is equipped with rear-wheel drive only, while the S and R is either rear or all-wheel drive and the SVR may be exclusively with all-wheel drive to help realize its full potential. This variety of power systems, as well as the choice of six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission (with the exception of R and SVR, which are automatically only) means 0-62mph times are from 3.5 to 5.7 seconds. The F-Type SVR is also the first Jaguar capable 0mph since the legendary XJ220 supercar of the early nineties of topping.
The SVR easily through its carbon fiber hood vents and deep front spoiler with active aerodynamics is identified. There is also an adaptive rear wing, bulging side skirts and a razor-like front splitter, all of which are at the hottest intention of the F-type hint
It is not just about straight performance, however :. The F- Coupe is great to drive on your favorite country road, also. The additional stiffness of the hardtop with the convertible compared makes the former, even better to drive, while four-wheel drive models have huge reserves of grip. The SVR also benefits from its own specific suspension tuning on the driving experience further add.
Among the Jag rival the Porsche Cayman and Porsche 911, the forthcoming Audi TT RS, the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. One could also, that the new Ford Mustang Coupe argue - with either four-cylinder EcoBoost or traditional V8 power - counts as a competitor for the Jag. The F-Type is to run not cheap but, with even the most efficient model only 33.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 199g / km return, for a 270 £ year road tax bill.
on the plus side, 407 liters of boot makes the F-Type Coupe one of the more practical cars in its class. Jaguar also manages an impressive sixth place in our 2016 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey. The brand has a goal not good for the reliability, however, and its overall result is a decrease of four points since 2015, when it rated second best overall.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

the Jaguar F-Type Coupé offers acceptable fuel consumption for such a high-performance car
If you are lucky, a Jaguar F-Type to consider buying, it is unlikely that fuel be a major concern. The F-Type is still pretty good in this department for a sports car, though - the V6 model has CO2 emissions of 199g / km and Jaguar says it will return as much as 33.6mpg. Go for one of the four-wheel drive versions only reduces fuel consumption by 1-2mpg. This means that you have to pay at least £ 270 a year in road tax, while the SVR model will cost a massive £ 515 per year in road tax alone.
If you go for the more powerful Jaguar F-Type S, these numbers fall slightly, and if you buy the extremely powerful Jaguar F-Type R or SVR, economy takes an even more significant hit. This can not really a great weakness of the car are considered as well as the slowest model in the F-type line-up produces 335bhp and high fuel prices are the norm for vehicles with this kind of power.

All signs are that the F -Type its value keep in better than any Jaguar. Unfortunately, Jaguar does not have good price offer pre-paid service packages, which in some pretty significant bills during property probably is - but can hold a performance car in optimal condition often be expensive.

motors, drive & Performance
- [1945088Fixed] roof means Jaguar F-Type Coupe is even better to drive than the convertible
, the convertible version of the F-Type is great to drive, but the fixed roof coupe makes the car more rigid and therefore more fun, even in corners. The steering is very precise and the eight-speed automatic transmission is very smooth. in fact, the mid-range V6 All-in-all, the F-type really a big car enthusiast to drive.
, the engines in the all offer plenty of power and the best choce real world is S model. The 375bhp it is developed more than enough, and because the engine is lightweight and compact, the car feels nimble and responsive.
We would recommend you choose the all-wheel drive version of the V6-S, as is a second faster from 0-62mph and handles better in the corners, but it is only very slightly less economical. We would not recommend the manual transmission, though - it's as a not so smooth you get in Porsches and the standard automatic transmission is a very rapid displacement, athletic gear, the car fits perfectly
There are, however. not deny the allure of more power with a chassis as powerful as these combined and Jaguar also offers a 5.0-liter supercharged R with 542bhp. However, the British brand Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division thought more potential was to unlock, and created the SVR V8, a thoroughly re-engineered F-type, which produces a huge 567bhp.
The same eight -speed automatic transmission as the regular F-type means there is no race-car-like 'Launch Control', but the all-wheel drive system sets the power effectively down and the SVR bounces line to do 0-62mph 3.5 seconds on the way to a genuine 0mph top speed. It makes a stunning noise, even with bangs and crackles between courses people is guaranteed almost certainly hear this car before they see it. The SVR is definitely not dislike for those who pay attention.

of all-wheel drive is "smart" also to send usually only about 30% of the power to the front wheels of the engine - to increase only for the part when it detects the rear tires lose grip. The suspension was also easy to compensate on the front, the increase in weight at this end of the car due to the four-wheel drive system components.
beenDuring each F-handles excellently stiffens, we need to mention is put into the suspension of the SVR model the extra attention SVO. Components were changed and the front suspension softened what the tire allows to bite the road more effectively. Elsewhere prevent toughened rear springs the car squats from bottom and allow both rear wheels to remain in firm contact with the asphalt.
The most amazing thing about the SVR that, if at all, it is more comfortable than other versions of the F-type - remarkable when we talk about a 0mph coupé with 20-inch wheels consider ,

Interior & Comfort

Comfortable suspension and a high-quality interior
the interior of the F-Type is not quite as exciting as the outside of the car - you likely are thinking either "discreet" or "a bit boring ", depending on your taste. There is no problem with quality, though, as all models have leather seats and the car is generally very comfortable, nice used with the materials feel to touch and solidly built. However, finding some buyers may it slightly annoying that items like heated seats cost extra. The interiors of the R and SVR models to reflect something that animates Extra Drama their appearance.
On the dashboard, the touchscreen interface is clear, nice to look at and easy to use, although you can find your finger in front of the screen on a bumpy road shaking. It also features Jaguar "InControl" apps for things like navigation, music streaming, parking and podcasting.

get the two more powerful models special suspension tuning, handling and comfort improved, and while driving in the SVR is decided yet, as some sports cars does not deal with bumps in a manner somehow better than other F-type and crash on bad roads and jerking. But even the entry-level V6 model, which is engaged in any such suspension provides a comfortable ride enough, only the loud sound from the tires and the crackling of the exhaust gas leaving the passenger to cause discomfort when you carried away.

practicality & trunk

Jaguar F-Type Coupe has a reasonable size boat, but the traditional disadvantages remain sportscar
As with the operating costs, the question of practicality is probably not a huge be consideration for most F-type buyer. Jaguar has done its best, but a boot deployment that provides 407 liters of space, which is the company for two sets of golf clubs says enough. Although the size is appropriate, the shape of the shoe will not make it particularly easy to load and the large glass pane means that you can not fill it.

in the car there is a good size glovebox and a couple of cup holders, but the space in the doors is pretty useless and the rearward visibility is not that great, either. The latter may make certain decisions when roads connect or change lanes quite tricky.

There are some question marks over Coupé reliability Jaguar F-Type
The Jaguar F-Type is a fairly new car, so there is not to study a lot of history, when it comes, Reliability. But both the V6 and V8 engines use to parts of Jaguar existing models and the company has developed very well in our Driver Power 2014 survey, coming second out of the 33 manufacturers rated. It is a good sign that customers are satisfied with the company, but a little more than that the mark only 15 came out of the 33 in the reliability category.
The F-Type has yet to be crash tested NCAP Euro, but it has numerous security technology, including electronic stability control and an optional blind-spot warning system, so we would expect it to high values in to achieve safety tests.

price, price-performance ratio and options

Sensible starting price, but Jaguar F-Type Coupe options are extensive and expensive
All Jaguar F-Type models lower than the price of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, except for the top-of-the-range SVR model, which is more powerful than the Aston. The entry level Jaguar F-Type V6 is around the same price as a Porsche Cayman S, so it's fair to say the Jaguar, is inexpensive.
The SVR is worthy look by itself. Although at 110.000 £ It looks expensive compared to other F-type, appearance, noise and driving experience at any price are more hard.
How Porsche is the case with its cars, Jaguar has a number of key functions rely on a very long list of options, so you are very unlikely to be the base price for the car to pay. There are a number of upgrades for the seats, brakes, steering wheel, alloy wheels and a stereo.
