Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 3 tested variants for this model year.
The 2018 Jaguar F-Type has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel leak on vehicles with the 2.0L engine where fuel rail end caps can allow vapor or liquid fuel to escape into the engine bay, creating a fire risk near hot engine and exhaust components.
A separate safety equipment concern affects one specific vehicle: a portion of the instrument panel can interfere with the front passenger airbag as it deploys, tearing the cushion and reducing its ability to protect an occupant in a crash. Two lighting recalls round out the list, both affecting vehicles with Highline headlamps. If a front turn signal bulb fails, the flash rate and audible chime do not speed up the way they are required to, so the driver has no clear warning that the signal has stopped working. There is also a lighting compliance issue where certain vehicles do not meet the required standards for lighting systems and reflective devices, though no specific consequence beyond the regulatory non-conformance has been described.
