Updating the Jaguar F Type was a tricky task. Always a beautiful car but can the new car be even more beautiful. Maybe the most interesting thing to look at is the new engine line up as there is one variant missing...the V6 !
Thanks to Harwoods Jaguar Chichester for letting me experience their demonstrator the F Type P450, a 5.0L V8 with 444 horsepower. The other question I need to ask is 'will the new F Type sound like an F Type should ?

Exterior styling-wise they've nailed it with this facelift to my eyes. In fact it's the only good looking current Jaguar on sale. Sounds good as well by 2020 standards. I rather like this. Two or three years down the road, when the first owner has had all the problems fixed, whilst paying the bulk of the depreciation for the privilege, it would be well worth a look. Nice review Pete 👍

I've had 3 Ftypes over last 6 years. Only issues were Oxygen sensors on Catalyst convertor SVR arising from not using the car enough. Once 2.0L came out i think this devalued their premium car. I like new front but don't know why they didn't do more on back. I think a new SVR is coming.

That’s a really great video ped . I daily a 2003 Jaguar S-Type R twin screw 500 hp. Yes 500. Today I drove the 2021 Jaguar F-Type dynamic P450 . And you are spot on in your descriptions. Certainly lacking in sound though what sounded it had was gorgeous. Styling super impressive agility super impressive breaking super impressive. Colour beautiful GP blue. One day old. An absolute honour to have driven it. I noticed a little bit more talk than my STR . But not a lot more. Certainly a bit of transmission and handling and breaking. . but it didn’t make the STR feel slow just less safe . Now I have driven a 515 hp XKR and an FType S 5.0 I think both of these had more torque then the P450. I think it’s amazing that I can even still compare the power of my 2003 Jaguar super sedan to this 2021 super GT. I will say this though that P450 Is the nicest car I have ever driven. Absolutely stunning.

Great review Pete. As a previous owner of a 535ps V8 the new exhaust is fine for me. The old V8 used to wake up with a start "flare" that made me hated in my street when going off to work at 6 am. The new front styling is bang on trend as you say looks very much like a I-Pace theme (no bad thing). Looking forward to your review of the P575 model - you WILL need the AWD in that !

I’m not convinced by the front end yet...maybe it’s a bit more mature just like the toned down exhaust! I think the interior still looks great as it has a certain style and quirkiness of it’s own, and the media system has Apple CarPlay etc...so is still looking and functioning as well as most. You should revisit the 2.0L, as it actually sounds quite good in it’s own way and is plenty fast enough for UK roads! You can review mine if you like???👍🏻

Good evening PP, not seen one in person yet, but styling looks good. I do think it looks good with the "de-chromed" badges and trim. Its always hard to capture how good or bad the exhaust sound is on film, but I must say that i don't think it sounds to bad, especially with all of the regulations that they have to abide by now. Really doesn't sound to bad on the fly by's. Looking forward to seeing your Tesla model Y 👍😉

Good content, in the past had trouble with Turbos locking up, partly by where manufactures mount them next to engine (as opposed to risers up high ...not to show off to keep them cooler next to Heat extractor hoods, or Boot), which defeats the purpose of the intercooler. Also, wouldn't buy a Jaguar without the reliable V8 5.0, and the V6 has actually been the 5.0 V8 with 6 cylinder heads and the last too camed pistons are stationary hidden under the windscreen, Thanks for sharing F-Type SVR is also my favorite and most like would be the one would buy. Was close to buying one and found out they 're only automatic.. miss the 6 speed manual transmission. The only reason have the PDK not because a Valet at the Hotel Burned for 10 minutes my Tires, Clutch, and Engine trying to get my Lotus Elise up the Parking Lot Ramp... the engine alone was $16,000, and so didn't repair it, and wound buying the 2016 Mustang.

Looking at replacing my BMW M4 convertible after previously owning an SLK55. I miss the V8 sound track from the SLK and the BMW is all about pops and bangs but quite jerky with the twin turbo! Was considering the V6 400 Jag but really like the modern look of the new model. Always went for the hardtop convertibles but may have to revert back to a soft top!! Only other option would have been an SL Mercedes. I suspect i will go for the P450 convertible, more modern take, V8 soundtrack and reasonable MPG. Thanks, this has been a very useful Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...I think it sounds like a very good car indeed! I like that it is not angry, hard, sharp...most of which you suffer rather than enjoy..a softer approach is faster as the abilities are far more accessible more of the time. My Mercedes SL is always described as soft and only good as a grand tourer...but it is able to impress far more in a quiet understated way....angry aggressive is a popular choice but reality is usability. I’m sure I would like one...but it is getting old inside...it is looking like a car you buy at 12 months old for £40,000 and that is when it works best. Thank you Peter..another good review!! Stay safe...get a 5.0l convertible when you are 60!!! 😀😀😀😀😀Richard.

Peter, I think you would change your opinion on the F type if you drove it from your home to Gissy. Having a loan 4 pot for two days I rang up and asked them to collect it again after one day. I had hoped it would have come close to a much loved nearly final edition XK which I had for around two and a half years. A replacement for the XK it certainly is not being noisy, jarring suspension and hard seats proved a no go for me. To put it into perspective I drove my XK from GISSY to Holyhead, ferry crossing to ROI and then north to my home in Norn Iron. Arriving home I felt I could have made the return journey the next day as the XK was a joy to own. I know the F type is targeting a different age group but if any of your younger subs is thinking of getting one I would suggest getting a pair of ear defenders as well.

Great vid Mr P - I'm afraid it's the sign of the times especially when noise capable speed cameras come a long - I'd love to have a F-Type V6 coupe it sounded great and had enough power on uk roads and that's the trouble with mega BHP cars i.e 2 seconds on the throttle and kiss goodbye to your license , much rather have a car that's fun to drive in everyday reality, oh well it's only a pipe dream for me in any case but nice to see a good honest viewpoint so well done from me :-)

Just to add- I went and bought a P450 AWD. Highly recommended. It would be unfair to say that it’s better or worse than the previous model. I absolutely love the V6 S and wouldn’t have minded if they hadn’t changed anything. Things do move on and after a week of new ownership I am very happy. Maybe I should have both on the drive?

Nice video, Pete. I rather like the rear end (how cool would it be to have the logo/lettering mirrored so it would look the right way round when the wing popped and you looked in the rear view?). It sounds great, considering the hoops they have to jump through these days (a bit more "pop and crackle" would be nice). Obviously drives/handles great. I agree about the interior, "timeless Jag" apart from the tech - graft a Mercedes infotainment/dash to it? (Can't believe infotainment is a proper word now!).

I always also lusted after an F-Type. Drove one loved it. Then drove a Porsche 911, so for the same money you get a 991.1 targa, more practical, better fuel consumption average 31 mpg (beans - 24mpg, long run 37mpg) depreciation almost zero now. The build quality is in a different league and it sounds might fine with a normally aspirated engine. Great video again Pete!

Not too dissimilar to the latest Vantage from the front and the rear flared arches. Unlike the Aston the F Type tries to appeal to a broader spread of buyers giving more of us a chance of ownership. Losing the V6 is a shame, most of its competitors will be powdered by 6 cylinder engines. This V8 doesn't sound like a V8 should, its a little bit plastic as though the sound engineers have tried too hard to make it sound better but come up against the brick wall of NVH rules.

Skinny headlights are so generic these days. The lines over the bonnet have gone. Front air intakes are too fussy. Rear end has too many angles, and no curve appeal. IMHO.

I have a XK, which suits the V8 and is a great grand tourer. I’m tempted by this facelift F Type for fast commuting between UK and Luxembourg. As a grand tourer it appears the right spec will help, as does the less tiring soundtrack. It’s difficult to find a true grand tourer in the style of the XK (which I shall keep) at this price point. I’m not a fan of Porsche’s, BMW, Mercedes or Audi, I’d love to support Lotus again with an Evora but I just don’t see it as a grand tourer for stress free comfortable long distance Euro driving.

I’ve had the V6 380, 400 AWD Sport and V8 SVR. To me SVR 4WD was by far the best and was not a handful in any way. It didn’t wheel spin and was stable under acceleration and was far better than my present AM DB11. Like the new front end but very disappointed that the back hasn’t been changed more than just the lights. After 2 years with the spoiler I hated it so glad they’ve deleted it. Inside doesn’t appear changed other than infotainment which is disappointing. In my SVR I averaged over 30mpg on some medium driving conditions days on a long trip to Portugal which was very surprising. The biggest downside to me is the design hasn’t changed enough for me to buy another and they could have done so much more to upgrade the interior quality . For anyone buying one go for a low mileage 1 year old SVR and save the massive depreciation on a new one.

The F type is a great car and the P450 is certainly a solid package offering more than adequate performance. I really liked the old V6 engine. I felt it had enough power at 380bhp, a great sound track, and the twin centre exhaust looked brutal and less fussy than the four pipe rear of the V8s.

Tata struggle today in the current market for quality tech but they have done a great job cleaning this car up, the underlying architecture in jaguar is old, very old, but it's worth a buy just for the looks. Compared to the current aston, it's better looking looking car and better value.

It`s a nice, Jag my boss years ago had an F type and when he went home I used to ask him to rev it a bit before he went off, and It definitely rasped and sounded better than that one you just drove nice though it looks, Be honest Pete you will have to get the other one to compare again, I suppose if the sound matters that much then perhaps you don`t buy this model and get a rortier of something else maybe A**** M*****ish!!!!!

Great review...it’s sad that the emission requirements are muffling most manufacturers exhaust sounds...though one has to wonder how people like Mercedes AMG and rumor has it the upcoming BMW M3/M4 seem to make it so...Maybe there is still some hope...I do agree with you that dropping the V6 in the F type seems a weird move given it was a good bridge gap...but am willing to bet...it wasn’t up to the engineers and enthusiasts like you and I but those number crunching boffins we call financial managers...having said that...given Jaguars current financial crisis...am inclined to think...it does boil down to what is making money and not just entirely what is ruled by the heart?

You know that the new AMG GT Black Series use loudspeakers to amplify the whisper that the new V8 is giving! It's so quiet that if it passes you in 150-200 km/h you hear more the wind and the tire noise than the engine sound! BMW is also rumours that they use a sound generator in their new cars (and also Ferrari is using it on their new V8's)! And the Jaguar V8 exhaust note is just purring pussy cat compared to the Jaguar roar it used to be! That PPF is just killing the sound, and it's getting even more quieter in the near future! In 2025 peopel will look back on the 2020 already quiet engines and say think how gret the cars sounded back in 2020...

The main issue with F type is the price SVR has a RRP of about £120k and that 450 variant £85k which is just mental. There is a 450 car “20” plate car with 100 miles on it for £59995 on autotrader that’s a £25k drop within a couple months of it being registered new WOW !!

Very nice. Still sorry I had to sell my V6. As you say its a big jump up from the entry level to this V8. Fuel economy on the V6 I had wasn't that bad, but then again you dont buy an F Type and worry too much how much the petrol is costing.

I traded my V6 for a V8. The 6 is just too slow. The 8 is a riot, especially with a 700HP tune. The RWD V8s are also lighter than the latest V6, with half the drivetrain loss of AWD, so its got around 25% more WHP/weight than the SVR.

@@Deathstaroya Two issues. First it goes through catalytic converters faster. The stock car eats them for breakfast, too. I think the June 2016 software reduced the ferocity to help, you might still have a loud car. Second, it ripped my engine mounts apart. They are only $200 per side and it was track burnouts while holding the brake with R888R 315s that did it. AWD can skip the burnout, but you’ll need better than the OEM PZeros or you’ll light up all 4. That’s another issue with my RWD, actually, lighting up the rears at high speed, especially when turning, but all the time in any gear less than 6th. I blew two rear Michelin 4S 305 tires together by ripping the cores out at the bead. Cup 2s are a lot stronger, but traction was only 20% better, and less consistent between sides. Only R888Rs are workable. Your AWD might get away with 4Ss.

Great video! A beautiful car, everything a Jaguar should be - beautiful, fast and great to drive. I think the 4 cylinder vs. 6 or 8cyl illustrates the fundamental difference between better and nicer. As an engineer I think small highly blown engines are objectively better, being light, very powerful and potentially very efficient. But as a driver I love V6 and V8 engines as you just don't get the same sensory experience in a small 4cyl engine.
