We look at the raw 2015 Jaguar F-Type R and compare it to the revised 2016 and later AWD F-type. We put each car on the lift and show you the unmentionables as well as walking you through cosmetic and interior changes.

The reason why the hood vents are different, is that the engine sits higher in the engine bay due to the AWD system. So as to not raise height further, the vents were pushed to the side. You can see where additional room for the engine was added in the profile of the hood stamping.

The discoloration is from the engine hood vents being open on the rwd models and exposing the engine cover to water/sun lights etc. Awd models vents shifted to prevent water ingress issues the earlier model rwd cars suffered from.

Guys the vent difference is to do with it being AWD, not a change in design post 2015 my 2015 AWD has these it is because the they raise the engine to accommodate the 4 wheel powertrain. Love the underneath views ...thanks for the video :-)

@PerformanceOnWheels 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! The height differences because of the AWD and hood stamping is totally true! I have read a few places that they kept the vents flush for visibility reasons.

Couldn't agree more about wishing for black as an option on the sideskirts/winglets on the AWD models. I have a 2017 Typer R in polaris white and I love the car but the white sideskirts are just a bit much. I'm currently trying to decide between paint or vinyl wrap in black, but it sure would be nice not to have to deal with that extra expense.

I had a 2017 F type R and at the end of my lease traded it in for a 2020 F type SVR. I am having difficulty seeing the difference except for the fact that’s the regular R Had a much more beautiful snap crackle and pop exhaust. Are there other differences?

@guyg2189 3 жыл бұрын

You did not answer my question I am not asking the difference between a four wheel drive and a 2 Wheel Dr. I am interested in the difference between an SVR 2020 and an F type R. My 2017 F type made the best noise possible through the exhaust. Not so the SVR. My service manager cannot answer my question except to say that the SVR is titanium and the R is steel.

@PerformanceOnWheels 3 жыл бұрын

The differences between the cars are minimal, that was my previous comment. If you are asking specific to the exhaust, it has been my and many others understanding, the exhaust has been neutered with software as the years progress.

@kevinquartemont2313 4 жыл бұрын

I really want to buy a 2015 but I can't find one within 500 miles that has less than 30K miles and none have only one owner. Because of this fact, probably the multiple owner aspect more than the mileage, I'm really sort of forced to go with a 2017awd. Keeping my fingers crossed that something will appear in fhe next couple weeks because my lease is up on my current vehicle the first week in August. I've been looking for a few months and really only regret one vehicle which was a 2017 with 11k miles, one owner, it was a convertible which I really didn't want but it was priced at $49K and it was dark green which is a rare color and it looked so nice.. I've seen other rare colors but they've always look kinda hokie. Like purple or light blue, whuch isn't terrible but it has a god awful jaguar decal along both quarter panels. Anyway, that is where I'm at. Not sure what I should do.
