2018 Jaguar F-Type four-cylinder review
Since its release, the Jaguar F-Type has sung to the sweet tune of V6 or V8 engines. Will a four-cylinder turbo dilute the sports car experience?
Turbocharged four-cylinders have become such a rage in the era of engine downsizing that it’s some time since they’ve been restricted to the likes of hot-hatches.
Manufacturers also continue to extract impressive outputs from small capacities – sufficient, in fact, for Jaguar to deem one suitable for its most evocative car, the F-Type.
Since its 2013 release, the Jaguar F-Type has been offered only with sonically delightful V6s or V8s. Those engines had also helped provide plenty of choice across coupe and convertible body styles, yet the introduction of the company’s Ingenium modular petrol four expands the F-Type variant list to a mind-boggling 32.
Your mind might be further boggled when you consider this is a car that in 2017 is set to account for about 150 sales. A more affordable model can only boost that figure, you imagine.
Jaguar Australia says it tried to get a starting price below $100,000 but couldn’t make the numbers work. The egregious Luxury Car Tax doesn’t help, though the British brand also opted against providing a manual gearbox option as it does with the V6.
Still, $107,017 for the coupe is a handy $14,195 saving over the previous V6 entry model, and importantly it undercuts the $115,300 Porsche 718 Cayman – itself now powered by a turbo four, of course, albeit of the flat rather than inline variety.
It’s a similar savings story for the F-Type convertible four-cylinder, priced from $125,712, though this time it’s the Porsche 718 Boxster that is more affordable, at $118,100.
