2019 Jaguar F-Type Introduced With Updates In The UK

British car maker Jaguar has updated its flagship sports car - the F-Type - for the 2019 model year. The two-door coupe and convertible version of the Jaguar F-Type get a host of feature upgrades for the new year including a bigger infotainment screen, special paint options and torque vectoring. The updated F-Type also gets the automaker's new power-based badging system as part of the changes. Visually, the 2019 edition gets no changes and continues to boast its beautiful curves that we've grown to love.

At the outset, the 2019 Jaguar F-Type now gets the P300 nameplate for the entry-level four-cylinder model, while the V6 models are badged as either P340 or P380. Jaguar has discontinued the F-Type 400 Sport globally from the model range, but the F-Type R and SVR models remain unchanged.

Inside, the upgrades on the 2019 Jaguar F-Type include a new 10-inch InControl Touch Pro infotainment screen as standard. The unit however, does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto yet, but Jaguar did say that the infotainment system will receive the update sometime later this year. There's a new trim for the air vents as well, along with frameless rear view mirror.

Another major update includes the new brake-based torque vectoring system on the 2019 Jaguar F-Type. The P380 trim also adds a limited-slip differential and adaptive dampers to the package.

Other personalisation options include new alloy wheel designs, while the F-Type SVR gets the spoiler delete option as well.

Engine options on the Jaguar F-Type include a 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor on the entry-level coupe, while the P340 and P380 use a 3.0-litre V6 supercharged engine. The top-of-the-line F-Type SVR Coupe and Convertible use the 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 engine with 567 bhp on offer.
