2018 Jaguar F-Type Becomes A Tamer Kitty With New 2.0-Liter Engine

Never have I ever driven a Jaguar F-Type and thought, “I wish this car has less power,” but for anyone who did have that dream, there’s now a solution. The 2018 F-Type adds a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four base engine.

 

It had long been rumored that Jaguar would launch a four-cylinder engine at the bottom of the F-Type range, so this addition isn’t too surprising. Available only with rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, the mill produces 296 horsepower (221 kilowatts) and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque, the latter delivered from 1,500 right up to 4,500 rpm. That will get the car to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155 mph.The 2.0-liter version will also be the lightest F-Type, at 3,360 pounds (1,524 kilograms) compared to 3,455-3,814 pounds for the other models.

 

Along with the engine upgrade, all versions of the 2018 Jaguar F-Type receive various equipment and visual upgrades. There are new front fascia designs, mildly reshaped LED taillights, new lightweight seats that save 17 pounds, full-LED headlights, a self-parallel-park function, and Jaguar’s InControl Touch Pro infotainment system becomes standard.

 

Jaguar says overall pricing for the 2018 F-Type will run from $59,900 to $125,000, before destination in the U.S.
