A stylish and high-performance coupe or convertible

Sometimes, it’s fun just to let loose and cruise with the wind in your hair and plenty of horsepower under your right foot, and that’s the experience you’ll find in the 2017 Jaguar F-Type. Sit back and enjoy the supportive sports seats in the luxurious interior, draped in soft leather and suede surfaces. Or, put your foot down and feel the power from a pair of supercharged engine options while the available AWD rockets you through corners. Plus, three different trims of the 2017 Jaguar F-Type let you find one with the driving characteristics to match your style.

5 reasons to buy the 2017 Jaguar F-Type

1. Adrenaline-pumping performance 

Unleash the full potential of the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace with the SVR trim that overhauls the F-Type with race-inspired technology. For example, the supercharged V8 engine is cranked up to 575 hp, while the lightning-fast eight-speed automatic transmission gets the 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR from zero to 60 in just 3.5 seconds (when new). Plus, adaptive suspension, precise steering, and sport-tuned AWD deliver sports car-like handling while improved brakes safely bring the fun to a stop. 

2. Supercharge your drive 

Both engine options in the 2017 Jaguar F-Type deliver supercharged power, how much is up to you. Getting things started in the F-Type and F-Type Premium trim is a 340-hp 3.0 L supercharged V6 engine, which is boosted to 380 horsepower in the S and S AWD trims. Or the potent 550-hp 5.0 L supercharged V8 powers the F-Type R, bumped to 575 hp in the F-Type SVR trim. Lastly, the 2017 Jaguar F-Type, F-Type Premium, and F-Type S include a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. 

3. Choose from a coupe or convertible 

Soak in the sun during a late summer’s cruise with the top down in a 2017 Jaguar F-Type, which lowers in just 12 seconds while driving at speeds less than 30 mph. Or opt for one of the available coupe roof types, from the standard aluminum roof to the available carbon fiber hard top. Plus, a panoramic roof is standard on coupes in Premium and higher trim, so you can still enjoy the sunlight. 

4. Plenty of standard features 

Loaded with tech and convenience equipment even at the entry-level, the 2017 Jaguar F-Type won’t leave you looking for more. For example, conveniences like automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and rain-sensing wipers. Plus, there’s tech like Bluetooth® connectivity, an eight-inch touchscreen, navigation, and a 12-speaker Meridian® sound system. 

5. Comfortable and stylish interior 

The plush and supportive front seats of a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace stay comfortable even after prolonged use. That’s because the power adjustability and extra lumbar support let you find the proper seating position and reduce strain. Additionally, the stylish interior is draped in suede and wood trim, making a nod to the heritage of the 2017 Jaguar F-Type.
