The Jaguar F-Type is the spiritual successor to the iconic E-Type. The F-Type is an excellent modern interpretation of a legend with its sleek styling, outstanding performance, and sophisticated interior. A nice update for the 2022 model year is an all-V8 lineup.

The model range of the F-Type is limited to three trims. Each one has its own personality, and we’re about to find out which one will be best suited for your taste and your budget. Find a Jaguar F-Type for sale

2022 Jaguar F-Type P450 (starting at $69,900)

The base model of the Jaguar F-Type is the P450 RWD trim. Available as a coupe or a convertible, it competes with the likes of the similarly priced Chevrolet Corvette and Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman. The newly standard engine in the F-Type is a supercharged V8 that produces 444 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. Jaguar claims a 0-to-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 177 mph. Not bad at all for the base model.

The F-Type is a sports car through and through, but it doesn’t forget that it’s also a luxury car. Premium standard features include LED headlights, 20-inch wheels, 6-way power-adjustable Windsor leather seats, and a Quiet Start system ensuring a subtle sound upon startup. Don’t worry; it can be overridden by switching to Dynamic Mode or using the switchable active exhaust system.

One of the coolest standard tech features of the F-Type is the Interactive Driver Display. It’s a 12.3-inch reconfigurable screen in place of a traditional gauge cluster. It defaults to a large tachometer in the middle, but you can configure it however you’d like. You can even bring up a full map from the navigation system to help keep you focused on the road.

When factoring in the destination charge, the base price of the F-Type P450 is $71,050. If you finance at 3% over 60 months with no down payment or trade-in, that translates to a monthly payment of $1,184. The F-Type isn’t a cheap car, but the base model is a pretty good value for a European luxury sports car with a supercharged V8 engine. Find a 2022 Jaguar F-Type P450 for sale

2022 Jaguar F-Type P450 R-Dynamic (starting at $79,900)

The R-Dynamic trim adds some cool features over the base P450 model. The engine and performance numbers are the same, but R-Dynamic adds all-wheel drive for better traction.

Other than the addition of AWD, the R-Dynamic upgrades are primarily aesthetic. It adds an appearance package with tasteful use of gloss black on the front splitter, side sills, valance, and venturi. It also has different wheels, which complement the appearance package nicely. Some other features include power-folding memory mirrors, 12-way power seats with memory, a power steering column, an aluminum center console, and metal treadplates with “R-DYNAMIC” branding.

Using the same parameters outlined above, the monthly payment for the F-Type P450 R-Dynamic comes to $1,351. Find a 2022 Jaguar F-Type P450 R-Dynamic for sale

2022 Jaguar F-Type P450 R-Dynamic includes:

  • All-wheel drive – All-wheel drive delivers the power from the supercharged V8 to all four wheels rather than just the rear wheels, improving traction.
  • Memory seats – If you’re going to have multiple drivers, memory seats will remember the perfect driving position for you and the driver you’re sharing it with.
  • Gloss black trim – Distinct gloss-black exterior trim and unique wheels give the F-Type R-Dynamic a more edgy look than the base model.

2022 Jaguar F-Type R (starting at $103,200)

If you’re looking for peak performance in a Jaguar sports car, then the F-Type R is the one to get. It has AWD and a higher-output supercharged V8 engine producing 575 hp, and it flies from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Jaguar says its top speed is 186 mph. This is only available as a coupe, so you’ll need to get one of the two lower trims if you want a convertible.

On top of the engine upgrade, performance is further improved with an aluminum double-wishbone suspension system and electric power-assisted steering. The result is a stylish and luxurious sports car that’s a thrill to drive.

The R model is the highest-performance and most expensive entry in the F-Type lineup and comes with a monthly payment of $104,350, assuming 3% financing over 60 months with no down payment or trade-in. Find a 2022 Jaguar F-Type R for sale
