2017 JAGUAR F-Type Convertible R-Dynamic 3.0L V6 8AT RWD (380 HP)

Vehicle Overview

After the F-Type Convertible’s initial release in 2013, Jaguar continued to improve the car and made it quicker and more appealing. In 2017 the British carmaker introduced a facelifted version.

Jaguar was one of the most known roadster carmakers in the U.K. Apart from the new models, it shined in the past with models such as the XK120, XK180, D-Type, or the marvelous E-Type. After it broke the relationship with Ford, Jaguar tried and succeeded to re-link with its past glorious roadsters and introduced the F-Type.

The facelifted version featured a new set of headlights with L-shaped daytime running lights inside. A redesigned grille made its way onto the facelifted version. It featured a horizontal bar and a mesh. The designers installed a new air-intake and a splitter at the bottom and improved air-scoops on the sides for the lower bumper. In the rear, the LED signature lamps enhanced the already beautiful taillights.

Inside, the 2017 F-Type featured lightweight slimline seats, which combined an ergonomically-optimized form with better comfort. Their frames were made out of magnesium alloys, allowing increased seat travel by 8 cm (3.15″). The center console gained three new finishers to differentiate the models in the range: the Jaguar F-Type featured knurled aluminum finish. In R-Dynamic models, the Delta aluminum finisher added a sportive feel. In contrast, R models were differentiated by a Linear Vee aluminum finish with the iconic “R” etched prominently into the surface. A carbon fiber console finisher was available as an option across the range.

Under the hood, the 2017 F-Type featured similar engines as its non-facelifted version and added a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit as a base model.
