The new Jaguar F-TYPE is a true driver-focused sports car that offers reward and engagement like no other. A new embedded Spotify app enhances the driving experience further, giving Premium Spotify subscribers instant, on-demand access to a growing library of more than 50 million tracks and more than 700 thousand podcasts.
Developed with Spotify, the new app is integrated within the fast, intuitive Touch Pro infotainment system so customers can enjoy their favourite playlists without connecting their phone. And through the Spotify Connect feature, playback can resume seamlessly from any other device when customers get into their car. The new F-TYPE is the first Jaguar model to feature the embedded Spotify app, which is also backward-compatible with existing Jaguar models equipped with the Touch Pro infotainment, Online Media feature and software-over-the-air (SOTA) functionality. Installing it is easy: Via a micro-SIM card in the vehicle or through a Wi-Fi connection, customers can, in three simple steps, download the app and update the online media sources with Spotify.
‘’Our customers expect the latest infotainment and connectivity technology, and the new F-TYPE’s embedded Spotify app has been developed to offer them exactly that. Our engineers have worked closely with Spotify to integrate this app into the Touch Pro infotainment system, and as a result our customers can have access to a huge library of music without needing to connect their phones. And the seamless playback between devices in the home to the car – and back again – makes the new F-TYPE even more enjoyable to drive.’’ Alan Volkaerts Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar F-TYPE

F‑TYPE is Jaguar design in its most athletic form and is lean, and elegant from any angle. But there’s two sides to every story, each have their own unique character, whether that be the purity of the coupé, or the freedom and carefree attitude that comes with the convertible. F‑TYPE’s new swept-back headlights are elongated and meld into the car’s aerodynamic lines. Animated Directional Indicators glide across the ‘J’ blades, adding to the sense of theatre. At the rear, F‑TYPE's LED taillights wrap around to the wheel arches, emphasising the car’s muscular stance.

From astonishing to simply breath taking, F‑TYPE is powered by the most thrilling of Jaguar’s petrol engines, all of which feature innovative technologies for improved fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, without compromising on performance. All models, from the 300PS 4‑cylinder to the 575PS V8, feature an Active Sports Exhaust system. Choose to make this switchable, so you have the option of releasing the thrilling rumble at all engine speeds.
F‑TYPE’s All‑Wheel Drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics offers performance with perfect poise, delivering confident handling for the road ahead.
