Two Seaters
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 rail end cap that can leak fuel vapor or liquid into the engine bay on models with the 2.0L engine, creating a fire risk near hot engine and exhaust components.
A second recall affects a single vehicle where a section of the instrument panel can interfere with the front passenger airbag during deployment, potentially tearing the cushion and reducing protection in a crash. On the lighting side, two recalls involve exterior lights: one addresses a compliance issue with the lighting system, and the other, which only affects vehicles with Highline headlamps, involves the turn signal warning behavior. When a front turn signal bulb fails on those vehicles, the dashboard flash rate and chime do not speed up as they normally would, so the driver may not realize the signal has stopped working.
