The 2023 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 model updated for 2021. 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.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

8/9/2022

Decades ago, Jaguar was known for its slinky sports cars and ornate executive sedans. Today, as Jaguar prepares for an electrified future and ever more SUVs, the last remaining connection to the brand's storied past is the 2023 F-Type. It is a two-seat sports car with a fixed or convertible roof, and it exhibits the long-hood, short-deck, rear-wheel-drive proportions made legendary by the Jaguar XK and E-Type.

Jaguar introduced the F-Type for the 2014 model year and gave it a substantial refresh for 2021. Last year, the car's supercharged V8 became standard as Jaguar doubled down on performance to shore up waning consumer interest. This year, Jaguar makes minor changes to equipment availability but otherwise carries the F-Type over for 2023.

Driving a Jaguar F-Type in a straight line is an unmitigated thrill, but the car's age is increasingly apparent, and its mechanical components can produce a discordant symphony when the road ahead contains curves and imperfect pavement. A stiff ride and noisy interior make long-distance travel less appealing, a shame given the F-Type coupe's accommodating cargo space.

Still, there's no denying that the F-Type is a looker, and it's one of the few luxury sports cars you can buy. If you're in the market and want an old-school driving experience, be sure to read our full Expert Rating for more details.

What's it like to live with?

For the fun of it (why else?), we put nearly 20,000 miles on a 2019 Jaguar F-Type SVR. Though Jaguar has made changes to the F-Type since then, including an upgrade to the previously maddening and now simply frustrating infotainment system, what we experienced in the 2019 F-Type is largely applicable to the latest models. Check out our long-term road test of the F-Type for all the details.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Average

7.4

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Jaguar F-TYPE on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

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, so 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.

Technology

7/10

How’s the tech? The infotainment system in the F-Type is decent enough. In fact, some of our past frustrations with lag and connection failures have disappeared. The system is a snap to use and rarely laggy. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both standard, and while we've had problems with Android's phone mirroring tech in the past, CarPlay worked without a hitch every time we hooked it up.

The Meridian sound system does leave something to be desired, however. It gets loud enough to be easily heard with the top down, but it doesn't deliver deep bass and gets grainy as you crank the volume higher. Highlights of the Jag's tech are the standard lane keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring, something that comes in handy frequently in such a low-slung coupe with bus-sized blind spots.

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.

2023 Jaguar F-TYPE trim level differences

Three versions of the 2023 Jaguar F-Type are available: P450, P450 R-Dynamic and R. Each comes in a two-door coupe or two-door convertible body style with two seats, a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The P450 has rear-wheel drive and offers all-wheel drive as an option, while the P450 R-Dynamic and the R use AWD. The R also makes substantially more power than the P450 models. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2023 Jaguar F-TYPE trim levels in-depth.

Which F-TYPE trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the standard P450 model. It doesn't make as much power as the mighty F-Type R, but it's still mighty quick and leaves you with extra cash to tailor the car's appearance, materials and comfort to your preferences. Whether you want all-wheel drive or a convertible top is up to you.

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 …

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 …

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 …
