FRESHENED

FELINE

The updated F-Type introduces a

suave new look and more power

for the R-badged models

ETA: late-2020

SHAPELIER SHELL
The outgoing Jaguar F-Type could
easily lay claim to being one of the finest

looking cars on the road, so raising the
game for the 2020 update is no mean
feat. The extensive facelift includes a
smoother nose and a larger grille flanked

by swept-back headlamps incorporating
sliding LED indicators. This is crowned by
a muscular-looking new bonnet. The rear
aspect retains its strong haunches and
striking taillamp array, with the latter
being slimmed down and slightly
squared off at the bottom.

IMPROVED INFOTAINMENT

The infotainment system has proved
to be a perennial chink in the F-Type’s
armour but the updated car looks to
address this criticism with the latest

version of the firm’s TouchPro interface
– which now includes Android Auto and
Apple CarPlay as standard – along with a

configurable 12,3-inch TFT display in the
instrument binnacle.
