edmunds TESTED
The Jaguar F-Type is a looker, and you get a lot of power for your money. Still, we think Jaguar missed the mark with this updated 2021 model. The car has lost some of the raucous character we fell in love with a few years back, and the car's infotainment system is still behind the times.

2021 Jaguar F-Type Review
byKurt Niebuhr
Senior Vehicle Test Editor
Kurt Niebuhr has worked in the automotive industry since 2005. A automotive photographer by trade, Kurt is now one of Edmunds' high-performance test drivers. He's driven and photographed hundreds, if not thousands, of vehicles all over the world, so Kurt's library of automotive experiences would certainly make for a good book. When not dreaming about getting his racing license or trying to buy out-of-date film for his cameras, Kurt can usually be found cursing at his 1966 Mustang.
Pros
- Available supercharged V8 offers raucous performance
- Three engine options for different budgets
- Upscale interior materials
Cons
- Infotainment interface is buggy and hard to use
- Overly stiff ride
- Lots of road and tire noise on rough pavement
- Steering is overly heavy and doesn't provide enough feel
What's new
- Updated front and rear styling
- New digital instrument panel
- R engine gets a power bump to 575 horsepower; SVR model no longer offered
- P340 and P380 rear-wheel-drive versions are no longer available
- Part of the first F-Type generation introduced for 2014
Overview
For 2021, Jaguar has updated its brash and stylish coupe with a significantly restyled front end and a subtle update to the taillights and rear fascia. On the inside, there's a reconfigurable digital gauge cluster display that replaces the previous analog gauges. We're a little disappointed that Jaguar has discontinued the previous top-dog SVR trim level, but thankfully its raucous 575-horsepower engine lives on in the 2021 R trim. Jaguar says it also applied the SVR's specific rear suspension design and tires to the 2021 F-Type.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2021 Jaguar F-TYPE P300 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.86 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

vs

Avg. Compact Car
Another big selling point for the F-Type is its range of models. The P300, powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, is a pretty affordable way to get a sharp-looking luxury sports car. But we're less impressed with the F-Type's all-around performance and daily livability, especially against rivals such as the BMW 8 Series, Chevrolet Corvette and Porsche 911. For our in-depth take, check out our full 2021 F-Type Expert Review.
What's it like to live with the F-Type?
For more information on the Jaguar F-Type of this generation, read about our experiences from a full year of living with a 2019 Jaguar F-Type SVR. We almost unanimously loved this F-Type for its brash engine and rapid straight-line performance. Even though the SVR has been discontinued for 2021, the R offers the same horsepower as the SVR, as well as various little improvements to the interior.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
7.5/10
How does the F-TYPE drive? Some cars are more than the sum of their parts, but the refreshed Jaguar F-Type isn't one of them. On paper, the F-Type R, which is what we tested, seems great. But somehow it falls apart when pushed. The F-Type gets upset by midcorner bumps and corners less flat than we expect from a car in this class. Despite the all-wheel-drive system, it's hard to figure out just when to get on the gas when powering out of a corner. It's capable, but it feels disconnected from the road.
Raw acceleration is decent. At Edmunds' test track, our F-Type R ripped from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. That's undeniably quick but a bit off the pace of rival luxury sports cars. The F-Type R features all-wheel drive, so there's no issue putting the power down.
The story isn't so bad when driving around town. Despite offering a comical amount of power, the F-Type is relatively smooth and easy to drive. The transmission shifts quickly, and the engine stop-start system works unobtrusively. Our biggest complaint: the brakes. The pedal is a bit uneven, making coming to a smooth stop a bit difficult until you spend some time behind the wheel.

Comfort
7/10
How comfortable is the F-TYPE? The F-Type R is fitted with sport seats that, while thin on padding, offer a good bit of adjustment and decent support for your back, thighs and lumbar area. There's good lateral support, a boon for spirited driving, but not so much that the seats feel restricting. The seat ventilation feature works well and keeps the thin seats from feeling swampy in hot weather.
On the downside, the F-Type's ride quality is just too stiff, even in its softest comfort setting. It never seems to relax, even when you're cruising on relatively smooth pavement. There's significant road noise too. Plus, the noise we used to like — the crackles and pops from the V8's exhaust — has been largely banished. Boo.

Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? The F-Type's interior is average for the class. There's enough room in the F-Type for most drivers not to feel cramped. There's a decent range of adjustment for both the seats and the steering wheel, meaning it's fairly easy to find a good driving position. That said, taller drivers might find the seat won't go low enough.
Most of the controls are well placed, with dedicated knobs and buttons for the climate control system. Jaguar's infotainment system is fine, but it's nothing exceptional and it's far off the class leaders. The menus are mostly logical, but we found some of the radio adjustments a bit frustrating. Visibility is hampered by the F-Type's sleek lines. The windshield is fairly large, but the back glass is narrow and blocked by the active spoiler at highway speeds.

Visibility is hampered by the F-Type's sleek lines. The windshield is fairly large, but the back glass is narrow and blocked by the active spoiler at highway speeds.
Technology
6/10
How’s the tech? In-car tech has always been one of Jaguar's weakest areas, and the F-Type is no exception. We found just about everything to be frustrating, from the quality of the optional audio system to the lack of available driver aids. We had issues connecting our phones both over Bluetooth and through a USB port. This isn't the only time we've had problems like this in a Jaguar product, so the problem seems to be fundamental rather than limited to our test car.
When it all works, it's fine. The quality of the audio system is pretty good over USB (but terrible over Bluetooth). The infotainment system looks dated, but it's well organized. The Jag's advanced driver aids work fine, but you won't find as many of them as you will on some rival sports cars. Our tester had the optional blind-spot monitoring and rear-cross traffic alert, which help counteract the F-Type's poor rear visibility.

Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? The F-Type's cargo area is one of the largest in the class and opens up even further with the cargo cover removed. It's not particularly tall, but it's wide and deep enough to fit some carry-on luggage or a decent number of grocery bags.
Storage up front isn't quite as good. The door pockets are small, as are the glovebox and center console. There's no good place to put your phone, and a small storage net between the seats isn't good for much more than a pair of sunglasses. The two cupholders are shallow but easy to reach.

Fuel Economy
8/10
How’s the fuel economy? The V8-powered Jaguar F-Type R gets an EPA-estimated 18 mpg combined (16 city/24 highway). On our 115-mile mixed driving evaluation route, we managed a respectable 20.3 mpg given this V8's prodigious power. The V6-powered F-Type gets even better fuel economy, at 22 mpg combined (19 city/27 highway).
Value
8/10
Is the F-TYPE a good value? We were pretty pleased with the F-Type's build quality and fit and finish. The interior design, despite being a few years old, holds up well. Most of the major touchpoints feel nice. There were no paint issues, squeaks or rattles on our test car. It's not quite on the level of the Porsche 911, but you definitely see where the money has gone.
It's a relatively decent value too. The F-Type includes lots of standard equipment, and options go for less than what other automakers command on their luxury sports cars. One of the biggest benefits is the F-Type's warranty and ownership experience. The five-year/60,000-mile basic and powertrain warranties are well above average. Additionally, Jaguar offers five years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance and scheduled maintenance. No one else comes close to matching the latter.

Wildcard
8/10
When the F-Type debuted in 2014, it was one of the loudest and most stylish cars on the road. The whine and burble from the supercharged V8 were aural delights, but this refreshed model seems to have lost all its character. The exhaust note just isn't as sweet. And while the V8 provides plenty of sauce for powering away from traffic lights, the F-Type otherwise isn't as sharp or engaging as we expect it to be.
Still, it's a handsome car that looks special and gets attention in parking lots and on the street. The revised front and rear styling keeps the F-Type looking fresh without straying too far away from the basic form.

Which F-TYPE does Edmunds recommend?
The 2021 Jaguar F-Type is best experienced with a supercharged V8 engine so we'd emphatically recommend the top-of-the-range R trim. The V8 has the power to match the looks of the F-Type, and the interior is appointed in high-quality leather. This is what owning a Jaguar is all about.

Wonderful car.
Jim, 10/03/2016
2017 Jaguar F-TYPE S 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl S/C 6M)
I've only had the car for a month. So my review will be limited to initial impressions. Looks. The car is stunning. I've never had a car that people stop and take pictures of when it's parked. And I've owned some VERY nice sports cars. Sound. The car sounds incredible, especially in dynamic mode with the exhaust in loud. i've always thought Porsche flat-6s sounded the best, but the Jag … is darn close. Handling. I'm still getting used to the car, haven't really played around with it with the stability control off. But it has minimal body roll, and very linear (if touchy in dynamic mode) throttle response. It throttle steers well in corners. Power is adequate. Book says 0-60 in a smidge under 5 seconds, and that feels about right. Yes, a new base boxster will about match it for less (I test drove one), but who wants to listen to a Subaru soundtrack. Turn in isn't as quick as my old Boxster, no surprise, but it isn't bad. As good or better than a Z4M Coupe. Braking is nothing short of incredible. I have the performance braking package, and while a bit touchy, stops are extremely short and consistent. Jaguar obviously uses a very soft "track" pad, as even a short drive will coat the wheels with brake dust. Which I'm sure means shorter replacement intervals. Ride. Actually not too bad. My car has the 20" Carbon Fiber wheels (they are really aluminum with some attached CF accent pieces), but it still rides tolerably, I commute 110 miles to a client site twice a month, and the trip is easy and comfortable. (Bear in mind I've owned sports cars my entire life, so my opinion of "comfortable" and yours might differ:)). Visibility. OK, here I need to deduct points. The door sills are high, so it is difficult to see curbs when turning and parking (I leave plenty of room) and resting you arm on the door sill leaves it at an odd angle. The nose is long, and I would HIGHLY recommend the package with the parking assist. I don't need the backup camera as much, but the front sensors for pulling forward are a godsend. Overall visibility really isn't that bad (better than a new corvette in my pinion). Just the price you pay for form over function. Storage space. a glove compartment, arm rest compartment, and open cubby are what you get up front. Generally all I need, but the rear compartment is rather small, there is a little area that is deeper, but you really are going to have issues with more than a few soft suitcases. Technology. Oodles. As expected, it has pretty much everything you could want. An awesome sound system, loads of customization for car systems, very good blue tooth integration, you can adjust the side bolsters in the seats (Ok, not really tech, but it is very cool), etc. The navigation system is not very intuitive though. Read the manual before you jump in and try to program in a destination. You're welcome. Reliability. No problems to date. There is an annoying buzz/rattle in the right rear, which might just be the cover for the storage area, I haven't located it yet. But other than that, nothing of note. Anyway, I'd highly recommend the F-Type. Yes, you can buy cars that perform better for less. But unless you're tracking the car (and driving for track times) you'll never notice the few tenths of a second here and there. You get a stunning car, that sounds incredible, and is a blast to drive. And you won't constantly pass yourself, as you will if you buy a Porsche, Corvette, etc.

2017 Jaguar F-TYPE R 2dr Convertible AWD (5.0L 8cyl S/C 8A)
Update to prior review: My F-Type was involved in, what I consider, a minor rear-ending. It took a less-than 30 MPH bunt to the dead center of the rear bumper. The bumper wound up with a visible crease down the middle, and the trunk lid, being made mainly of fiberglass, essentially crumbled. Original estimate for repair was around $6K USD. However, the dealer-authorized repair … facility was concerned the price for repair could go higher, because "...it's a convertible..." They wanted to have their special team remove most of the rear hardware and "bench" the car on a device that, apparently rare in the U.S., will indicate if the car had suffered a structural loss. According to the F-Type experts (and, I'm not being facetious or critical of them), the car, because it was a convertible, "bucked" on impact, essentially destroying the car. Price tag to repair "if possible" was not pushing $40K USD. My insurance adjuster's discussion with me included parts of the conversation with the repair facility, including, but not limited to, "...parts are not possible to get...," and, "...structurally, it's a total loss." Apparently, the convertible is something of a weakling on impact. So, when I rec'v the settlement check, I'm going to research available F-Type coupes from model year 2017, then acquire one. My previous opinions of the car haven't changed. It's gorgeous, a blast to drive and better than therapy. Just not getting another dangerous convertible. FYI - It had just crossed 6,000 miles on the odometer. Makes you want to cry...
Be ready for a LOT of attention from on-lookers! Not always welcome, though (LOL!)... As another reviewer has conveyed, we've had people: walk up to the car and pose with it; hang out windows of moving vehicles "cat calling" and waving frantically; try to goad us into impromptu races; drive around us, taking moving pictures; etc. The car is super sexy, accelerates like a rocket, handles like a dream, stops on a dime, and has the Voice of God!! Other car buffs have actually asked us to start the engine just so they can hear what they've read about. And, let's face it, Ain't nothin' like a Racing Red, top-down Jag on a beautiful day!! Get one and you can fire your therapist!!!!

Jaguar F-Type R Rules the road
Mike Arias, 05/17/2018
2017 Jaguar F-TYPE R 2dr Convertible AWD (5.0L 8cyl S/C 8A)
It has a very small trunk. If you want to drive yourself and two others, don't get this car. It accelerates like a supercar and gets the same type of MPGs (low). It is a blast to drive, even if to the grocery store - remember small trunk means not a lot of groceries. Otherwise, I bought in September from a dealer that was closed most of the month due top hurricanes, so I got the best … deal of my life. I have to watch it like a hawk, because my wife want to drive it and more than once she got out of the house before I did and it was gone, gone, gone. Its just that much fun to drive and the styling is the best Jaguar has done since the E-Type. So far, everything works, no problems with reliability. Not really impressed with the 9 speaker audio system, it kind of rattles, but who cares, turn on the by-pass for the mufflers and music is made the natural way - with a big powerful supercharged V-8.

A dream car - with a stick no less!
NY F-Type Lover, 06/24/2017
2017 Jaguar F-TYPE Premium 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl S/C 6M)
Best review I can think of: Driving the other day and this 20 something year old in a Nissan Altima is taking pictures of my car. He is racing ahead, then holding back, then right next to me. At a traffic light, he pulls up next to me and rolls down his window. He apologizes for making an idiot of himself with the photos, but just wants me to know that when he gets home, he is posting … the pictures of my car on his Facebook site with the intended caption stating that 'this is my dream car". That is what it is like to drive a Jaguar F-Type. Oh, and did I mention it has a manual transmission? The color, the wheels, the styling, the butterly smooth action and positive engagement of the clutch and stick...I could go on and on...
Two years and 17,500 miles later, my opinion on this car has not changed one bit. I am still head over heals in love with it. I am however, sorry to report that Jaguar has eliminated the manual transmission option for 2020. Oh well, looks like I will be purchasing my leased car next year. If you can find one, buy one!
December - 2019: I have 23,000 miles on the car and have extended my lease. The original (summer type performance) tires lasted 20,500 miles and were recently replaced with a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 tires which are giving me a much more comfortable ride, and much help with a recent 1" snow fall accumulation. Gas mileage is still stellar at 25mpg. I am proud to report that besides (no-charge) factory service, there have been absolutely no issues with this vehicle. Not one single problem - no warranty claims what-so-ever. Still love it as much as the day I drove it home.
