A sporty and tech-savvy coupe with style
It won’t take long for you to overlook some of the comfort sacrifices the 2019 Jaguar F-Type makes in its pursuit of performance. That’s because the interior isn’t that uncomfortable, with plush and supportive seats and soft, high-end materials throughout. But the selection of three potent engine options, a snappy eight-speed automatic transmission, and race-inspired handling are where the 2019 F-Type shines. Lastly, the well-equipped base model won’t leave you looking for a higher trim to get the features you want.

5 reasons to buy the 2019 Jaguar F-Type
1. Turbocharged or supercharged engine options
The base engine in a 2019 Jaguar F-Type P300 might be a four-cylinder, but the turbocharger helps it produce an impressive 296 horsepower. Or there’s an upgraded supercharged V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower in the P340 or 380 horsepower in the P380 and R-Dynamic. Finally, a supercharged V8 engine powers the F-Type R and F-Type SVR models, making 550 hp and 575 hp, respectively. Additionally, a six-speed manual transmission is available in P340 and P380 models.
2. Standard driver assists
A suite of basic driver aids is standard in every 2019 Jaguar F-Type and includes a rearview camera, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and forward collision mitigation. However, if you want blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerting, or front and rear parking sensors, they’re optional extras to keep an eye out for. Lastly, the 2019 Jaguar F-Type also has an available automatic parking system to help with parallel parking.
3. A long list of included features
Get the features you want in the base-level 2019 Jaguar F-Type P300. For example, some standard equipment includes rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, and push-button start. Plus, there are tech features like Bluetooth® connectivity, a ten-inch touchscreen, and USB ports for basic smartphone app integration.
4. Pick a coupe or convertible
There’s extra stiffness in the body of a 2019 Jaguar F-Type coupe, which slightly improves handling and acceleration compared to the convertible version. However, the convertible’s soft top lets you enjoy the open air and folds down in 12 seconds. In either case, the 2019 Jaguar F-Type’s sweeping lines and curves make an attractive addition to any driveway.
5. The race-inspired SVR trim
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to drive a car capable of going from zero to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds (when new), then look for the 2019 Jaguar F-Type SVR. It’s not just fast in a straight line, either, thanks to upgraded brakes, a limited-slip differential, and suspension that automatically adapts to the road surface conditions. Lastly, the AWD system intelligently routes power to the outside wheels in a corner for even more handling capability.
