Jaguar F-Type (2013 to 2024)

Model reviewed: P450 75 (2023)
Score: 8 / 10
“The 75 is a fitting, if not dramatically changed, send-off for the Jaguar F-Type. The softer, lower-powered P450 derivative better suits the car’s more GT-aligned nature, and it seems great value compared to a Porsche 911 Cabriolet, despite that car being sharper and fresher.”

“Jaguar’s efforts with the heavily updated F-Type prove you can teach an old dog new tricks. Perhaps the most welcome change is the rejigged line-up, though; the new P450 option means V8 power is likely to be more appealing than ever in this popular car.”

Model reviewed: Convertible 75 P450 RWD
Score: 8 / 10
“It’s still priced well above the Boxster GTS. Discounts will narrow that gap significantly, though, and the F-Type’s more relaxed, easygoing nature, noisier (if not necessarily stronger) performance and enduring elegance gives it almost as much appeal today as a decade ago.”

Model reviewed: 5.0-litre petrol automatic P450 convertible
Score: 8 / 10
“The P450 Convertible is arguably the F-Type at its best: rear-driven, with more than enough power, an electrifying exhaust note and an almost languid effortlessness that suits roof-down touring. Less competent than some, then, but with an easy-going, old-fashioned charm that still makes it an attractive option.”

“The Jaguar F-Type remains at heart a simple prospect designed for those who want a sports car to look and sound great, to go fast and to offer accessible driver thrills. It now succeeds in those respects better than ever.”

“This is a very light facelift. But the car’s even better looking than it was before, the new driver instruments are a welcome addition (even if the different modes are a little fiddly to shift between), as is CarPlay, and the driving experience remains richly rewarding.”

“The Jaguar F-Type remains a fine sports car, and the R remains – for the power-hungry at least – the ultimate example of it; handsome, shatteringly fast, brawny and seriously capable.”

“The Jaguar F-Type Convertible stands out for two reasons: its head-turning looks and bone-rattling V8. There are more practical open-tops, with better infotainment, though.”

“The new Jaguar F-Type is an evolution rather than a radical revolution. In essence, the face has been sharpened up with some razor-like headlights similar to those used in the electrifying I-Pace SUV.”

“The Jaguar F-Type is a very British sports car, though, and a very desirable one should you not have quite the means to stretch to something like an Aston Martin Vantage.”

“The Jaguar F-Type Convertible still makes a convincing, largely comfortable touring car while providing eight-tenths of the plug-in, sheer driving brilliance of a Porsche Boxster or 911 – models that are both F-Type alternatives because of the sheer breadth of the Jaguar’s model range.”

“If you’re in the market for a two-seat convertible sports car, and you don’t want a Porsche, the Jaguar F-Type should be near, or at, the very top of your list. Something that looks so good and drives so well should be on the list of anybody with an ounce of petrol in their bloodstream.”

“This is a very light facelift to the Jaguar F-Type. R customers will notice a difference, should they drive new and old back to back, but P300 customers won’t, because there are no differences to feel.”

“The problem with the Jaguar F-Type R, really, is that it’s just a bit too much. Too powerful, too costly, and frankly, too tricky to handle if the conditions aren’t perfect.”

“There’s no doubt the Jaguar F-Type holds plenty of appeal. It’s reasonably comfortable for long distances, although you’ll have to pack light; there’s not a lot of stowage space and the boot isn’t particularly big. Rivals are more enjoyable to drive, though, so look at one of those instead.”

“The Jaguar F-Type Convertible makes a great noise and the more expensive versions offer exhilarating pace, but its chief rivals are better sports cars.”
