The new 2018 Jaguar F-TYPE is now officially available in Malaysia by authorised distributors Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia. This is the latest, and facelifted version of their super sexy coupe. The F-Type sports restyled headlights, rear lights and bumpers. It also comes with a tax friendly 2.0liter turbocharged engine too!
Previously, you could only get one with the larger V6 and V8 engines. Now, in the age of downsizing, even Jaguar now offers efficient performance. The new 300PS 2.0-litre turbocharged Ingenium engine is of Jaguar Land Rover's own design and in this F-Type, it carries Jaguar’s sports car DNA.
The 2.0liter engine is tuned to suit this sports coupe and it allows the F-Type to accelerate from 0-100km/h in only 5.7 seconds and achieve a top speed of 250km/h. The engine’s high maximum torque of 400Nm is generated from just 1,500rpm making it a tractable car for most situations.
The F-Type is Jaguar’s all-aluminium two-seater sports car. Since it was launched in 2012, the F-Type has firmly established itself a heck of a good looking sports car and it has won more than 170 awards worldwide to prove its credentials. I just saw one driving by over the weekend and it looked goegeous - more people should go buy one!
The F-TYPE Coupé takes after the stunning Jaguar C-X16 concept sports Coupé, which debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The F-Type Coupé features a lightweight aluminium body shell which is also extremely rigid. You can tell that the lightweight chassis allows Jaguar to put in that smaller 2.0liter engine and still keep the performance levels to something totally acceptable for a sports car.
The 2018 version of the F-type which is now available here now comes with LED headlights and rearlights as part of the improved exterior upgrades. According to Jaguar, the new headlights from the optional LEDs has a colour temperature of 5,500-6,000K, which is close to daylight resulting in better visibility for night driving and adds on to the styling of the car. There are three different beam pattern modes to choose from (i.e: city, highway and bad weather) so that the driver can choose a mode that suits the driving environment at the time.
Exterior wise, the 2018 F-type comes with a redesigned bumper, a new single exhaust tailpipe and a new 18” wheel design There is also a new body colour called Silicon Silver to go with the 2018 model year.
Inside, there are lightweight slim-lined seats and new chrome and aluminium trim finishers. interior colour schemes includes the Siena Tan leather option which is now available across the range. The seat frames are pressure die cast magnesium alloy which is both lightweight a extremely strong. Weight savings for the Coupé as compared to its predecessors are more than 8kg partly because of these seats.
The F-TYPE now features the Touch Pro infotainment system with a 10-inch touchscreen. It is responsive and it also has intuitive tablet-style operation, intelligent navigation functions such as Share ETA and online services such as real-time traffic and live weather reports.
Jaguar's Touch Pro is offered. This is Jaguar's most advanced infotainment system which now comes standard for the entire F-TYPE range. Designed and developed around state-of-the-art technologies including a powerful quad-core processor, high-speed 60GB Solid-State Drive (SSD) and an ultra-fast Ethernet network, Touch Pro delivers a world-class performance and functionality as well as an outstanding user experience.
The 2018 F-TYPE 2.0L Ingenium retails at RM575,800 (excluding road tax, registration and insurance) and is now available at all Jaguar showrooms nationwide. The 2.0liter engine makes a big difference in terms of pricing. In countries like Malaysia, where engine cubic capacity is counted for the road tax, a smaller engined car is also much in demand.
All Jaguar vehicles distributed by authorised dealers also come with ‘Jaguar Care’ programme whichis based on whichever comes first i.e a 5-year Warranty or 150,000km, 5-year Servicing or 65,000km and 3-year Roadside Assistance.
Aside from that, JLRM also would like to state that all vehicles distributed by Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia are compatible with the Malaysian climate, environment, fuel quality and meet the Malaysian emission standard.
