2014 Jaguar F-TYPE Used Price Estimates

The first roadster from Jaguar in 40 years, the 2014 F-Type was worth the wait. This convertible is a thrilling blend of style, performance and luxury, and no matter what your priorities are, you're sure to lust after it.

Movie remakes and cover songs are tricky business, especially if the original is an iconic and beloved cultural symbol that has stood the test of time. The all-new 2014 Jaguar F-Type faces just such a challenge: This convertible represents the first all-new Jaguar sports car since the legendary E-Type that debuted in 1961 and ceased production in 1974.

Forty years of progress and innovation ensure that the E- and F-Types are worlds apart in performance and technology, but comparisons can't be avoided. Jaguar refuses to call the F-Type a tribute, but there are subtle styling nods to the original, including the rounded side body panels and the circular taillight accents. That said, the E-Type was both a convertible roadster and coupe, but for now the new F-Type is just a convertible.

Naturally, the Jaguar F-Type is faster and takes corners with an aggression that would cripple its ancestor, but like the E-Type, this latest Jaguar drop top is all about the emotional side of driving. The F-Type will be an absolute joy for pilots who crave performance, yet the car is elegantly civilized when driven conservatively. Get deeper into the gas pedal and the rush of acceleration is accompanied by a glorious exhaust note that rivals anything from Italy. This is especially true for the F-Type S models.

Given its asking price, the 2014 Jaguar F-Type is in the same league as convertibles like the BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG. When it comes to measuring performance, this Jaguar can challenge the likes of the Audi R8 and Porsche 911. Although the F-Type might not match the Porsche in every conceivable test, it's equally thrilling to drive, downright gorgeous and a bit less expensive than a comparable 911. And not only is it a worthy sequel to the E-Type, the Jaguar F-Type ranks among our favorite drop-top sports cars for 2014.

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type is a two-seat fabric-top roadster that is available in base, S and V8 S trims. Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic bi-xenon headlights, LED running lights, headlight washers, rain-sensing wipers, a deployable rear spoiler and heated side mirrors. Also standard are full power accessories, cruise control, automatic climate control, leather and suede upholstery, six-way power-adjustable seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, interior ambient lighting, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, Bluetooth, an 8-inch touchscreen display, a navigation system, and a 10-speaker audio system with CD player, auxiliary audio jack and iPod integration.

Upgrading to the F-Type S will get you a more powerful V6 engine, 19-inch wheels, power-folding mirrors, gloss black exterior accents, an adaptive suspension system, larger performance brakes, a mechanical limited-slip differential, selectable dynamic driving modes (controls throttle, steering and transmission responses), an active sport exhaust, keyless ignition/entry and color-configurable ambient lighting.

The range-topping F-Type V8 S adds a powerful V8 engine, 20-inch wheels, auto-dimming mirrors, rear parking sensors, high-performance brakes, an electronic active differential, dual-zone automatic climate control, full leather upholstery, 12-way adjustable power seats (with power lumbar) and driver-seat memory functions.

Bundled options include the Premium 1 and 2 packages for the base and F-Type S, which add the auto-dimming mirrors, 12-way power seats, dual-zone climate control, a wind deflector, heated seats and a heated steering wheel. The Premium 3 package for the V8 S adds the above features that aren't already standard. The Vision pack can be added to the Premium packages and includes adaptive headlights, automatic high beams, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, a blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic detection.

The Performance packages for the S and V8 S add sport seats, customizable dynamic modes, high-performance brakes, a sport steering wheel and unique interior treatments. Besides the numerous wheel and body color choices, stand-alone options include a heated windshield, active exhaust control, illuminated door sills, satellite and HD radio, and a premium 14-speaker Meridian audio system.

The base 2014 Jaguar F-Type is powered by a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine that produces 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic with manual shift control sends that power to the rear wheels and is standard across the F-Type lineup. Jaguar estimates the base F-Type will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.

Choose the F-Type S and the V6 engine's power output increases to 380 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque. This model is expected to reach 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type V8 S receives a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that cranks out an impressive 495 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Its 0-60 time is estimated to be an impressively quick 4.2 seconds.

EPA-estimated fuel economy for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type 3.0-liter V6 with automatic transmission are 23 mpg combined (20 mpg city/28 mpg highway), for the F-Type S are 22 mpg combined (19 mpg city/27 mpg highway), and for the 5.0-liter V8 S are 18 mpg combined (16 mpg city/23 mpg highway).

Safety features for all 2014 Jaguar F-Types include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, seat-mounted side airbags and rollover protection bars. Rear parking sensors are standard on the V8 S model and available on supporting trims. Optionally, front parking sensors, a blind-spot monitor, a rear cross-traffic warning system, adaptive headlights and automatic high beams can also be added to all trims.

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type delivers on a number of fronts, whether you're looking for stunning acceleration, luxury-car comforts or a high-end convertible that simply looks good and makes you feel special. All models in the range perform on very high levels, though the V6 models are marginally more responsive in the handling department compared with the heavier V8 model.

Obviously, drivers with a penchant for speed will gravitate toward the S models and they'll be generously rewarded. Both the V6- and V8-powered S trims feature a slick active exhaust system, which produces a symphony that honors the best that internal combustion engines have to offer. Yet, when you're driving with restraint in traffic, the mechanical soundtrack quiets to levels that you'd expect from other drop-top luxury cars. Although serious enthusiasts might be put off by the fact that the F-Type only comes with an automatic transmission, this eight-speed is impressive nonetheless. It shifts as quickly as many of the automated manual transmissions in competitors, yet it's still capable of executing smooth gearchanges in everyday driving situations.

On the whole, the F-Type is every bit as satisfying to drive as its evocative styling suggests. It might not measure up to the venerable Porsche 911 in every test of performance, but when it comes to the emotional side of driving, the 2014 Jaguar F-Type ranks among the best open-top sports cars.

Step into the F-Type's cockpit and there's no mistaking it for anything but a sports car. Even in base trim there are plenty of cues telling you that this car means business, with racy stitching, well-bolstered seats and a hearty passenger "oh shoot" handle flanking the center stack. Yet it's also a Jaguar, which means top-notch materials, comfort and high-tech features. Such finishing touches as central air vents that rise from the dash and an Ignis orange start button and shift paddles (for S models) further increase the cool factor.

At highway speeds, top-down motoring is calm, with buffeting kept to acceptable levels, and if the weather takes a turn, the top can be deployed in only 12 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph. Whether the top is up or down, trunk size is notably limited at 6.9 cubic feet. Medium-size suitcases might be a tight squeeze, and the oddly shaped space and awkward liftover further complicates loading.

So do you want to go fast, faster or fastest? That’s the choice Jaguar gives you. The base F-Type convertible equipped with its high-tech 340-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V6 is a serious performance machine, as its 5.1-second 0-to-60 mph time and electronically limited 161-mph top speed attest. And things just get hotter from there. The more highly strung V6 F-Type S benefits from an increase of 40 horsepower enabling it to bolt to 60 in 4.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 171 mph. Those are compelling numbers, but the real mind-blower is the 5.0-liter V8 S model that can induce vertigo by vaulting from zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds. Its top speed is 186 mph. All this straight-line performance is matched by a well-controlled suspension, quick steering and huge brakes, and while the F-Type can be a handful if you floor the accelerator at rest, the car is filled with electronic driver aids that can tame the beast a bit if you want them to.

5.0-LITER SUPERCHARGED V8 ENGINEThe F-Type is filled with innovative features, but its ultra-performance credentials are assured by its 495-horsepower supercharged alloy-block V8. Combining high-tech niceties like direct injection, variable cam timing and a water-cooled intercooler, the engine pours out streams of velvety torque.8-SPEED QUICKSHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONYou’d be hard-pressed to find an automatic transmission more intelligent than the ZF 8-speed in the F-Type. It actually detects your driving style and provides shift-mapping that matches your whims, kind of like eHarmony in a gearbox.

The F-Type’s interior puts a strong focus on the driver with a grab handle dividing the driver’s space from the passenger area, along with subtle differentiation in the grain on the instrument panel and center console on the driver’s side versus the passenger’s side. Further differentiation is found on the S and V8 S models, which have engine start button, shift paddles and the Dynamic Mode toggle all finished in “Ignis” orange – typically used in divers’ watches. While all that might seem a bit studied, the big items are handled wonderfully well. The instrument panel features substantial tachometer and speedometer dials, flanking an info screen. A large TFT touch screen above the center console offers a variety of functions including navigation, and immediately below three rotary knobs and an array of toggles control heating and air conditioning. The standard sport seats offer manual fore-and-aft control, though there is a full-power option. A “performance” seat option provides more bolstering.

Trying to design a follow-on for a legendary design is a very difficult assignment, so it seems Jaguar Chief Designer Ian Callum’s team intentionally avoided emulating the 50-year-old lines of the E-Type. For instance, the car has a large trapezoidal grille instead of the E-Type’s elegant oval. The biggest similarity between the E-Type and F-Type is the fact that both have folding fabric tops, though some might have expected the F-Type to have a disappearing hardtop instead. Quibbling aside, the F-Type is a very attractive contemporary sports car, and all three variants are similar visually. We especially like the slim rear section of the car, though the sleek look does mean the F-Type has limited trunk space.

If Jaguar had just introduced the base F-Type as its single offering in the sports car segment it would have won a great deal of praise, because a base F-Type offers the sinuous styling, driver-oriented interior, deployable rear spoiler and power-operated soft top of the higher-level versions. The 340-horsepower supercharged V6 is a formidable engine, and it is backed by the praiseworthy 8-speed QuickShift transmission. Also standard is the intelligent stop/start system that stops the engine when you pull up to a red light or stop sign, then re-starts it as quickly as the driver can move his or her foot from brake pedal to accelerator.

The F-Type is chock-full of driving aids designed to enable the driver to get the very most out of the steering, suspension, brakes and tires. Dynamic Mode enables you to tune the throttle response, steering, gear changes and stability-control threshold to match your preferences, which seems like adjustment enough, but the Configurable Dynamics option allows you to select the elements of Dynamic Mode that you want to change. So you can tailor the shock damping, steering rate and throttle response to your liking, while leaving other settings at factory spec. It also allows you to record data like lap and split times, brake-and-throttle inputs and G-forces. While all that makes driving more entertaining, Jaguar also paid attention to more traditional entertainment. The 10-speaker Meridian audio system has a 380-watt output, while the 12-speaker Meridian system offers 770 watts plus the Trifield System, which places both driver and passenger in the center of their own surround-sound fields.

The 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and the 5.0-liter supercharged V8 offered in the various F-Type models share both architecture and the intelligent stop/start system. Aluminum-alloy construction is used in both engines as is a twin-vortex supercharger and water-cooled intercooler. Another commonality is the use of aluminum cylinder heads that house the independent variable-cam-timing system. The V-6 uses counter-rotating front and rear balancer weights to compensate for the lack of two cylinders, helping to give the engine refinement similar to the V8. The power for all Jaguar F-Types is transmitted to the rear wheel via an 8-speed automatic transmission.3.0-liter supercharged V6340 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm332 lb-ft of torque @ 3,500 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/28 mpg3.0-liter supercharged V6380 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm339 lb-ft of torque @ 3,500 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/27 mpg5.0-liter supercharged V8495 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm460 lb-ft of torque @ 2,500 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/23 mpg

Jaguar executives have pointed the 2014 F-Type directly at the Porsche 911, and they have priced it to offer significant extra value versus the equivalent 911 Cabriolet models. At the same time, the 911 is significantly different from the F-Type in overall configuration. In fact, one could make the case that the F-Type bears more similarities to the Chevrolet Corvette than the 911. All that said, the F-Type has a price advantage versus the 911, but is at a significant disadvantage in terms of resale value. In comparison to the upcoming 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the F-Type is at both a cost and resale-value disadvantage. We believe none of this should make much difference to Jaguar fans, who now find their marque squarely back in the sports car race.
