Jaguar discontinues F-Type after an 11-year run

SAUDI ARABIA : The final Jaguar F-Type has been produced at the Castle Bromwich plant, marking a significant milestone as Jaguar transitions to producing low-volume electric luxury vehicles. The last F-Type was manufactured precisely 50 years after the final E-Type, and it pays homage to its predecessor with its Giola Green exterior, tan leather interior, and black convertible top.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why has Jaguar discontinued manufacture of the final F-Type?

    Jaguar has discontinued manufacture of the final F-Type in order to focus on creating electrified premium vehicles.
  • JaguarThis final F-Type will be housed in the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust’s collection in Gaydon, alongside the last XE, XF, and XF Sportbrake models. Despite the end of its production, F-Types will continue to be available in Jaguar showrooms in markets like the UK until early next year. In total, 87,731 units of the F-Type were produced, surpassing the E-Type's production run by 15,000 units.

    With the cessation of F-Type, XE, and XF production at Castle Bromwich, Jaguar will temporarily become an SUV-exclusive brand. The F-Pace will continue to be manufactured at Solihull, while production of the E-Pace and I-Pace will proceed in Graz, Austria, until the end of next year.

    Jaguar's future lineup will include a grand tourer built on the new JEA platform, which is set to be unveiled later this year. This new electric vehicle is anticipated to offer a range of approximately 700 kilometers and a starting price exceeding GBP 1,00,000. It is expected to feature a dual-motor powertrain with a combined output of over 580 horsepower. Following the grand tourer, Jaguar plans to introduce a luxurious SUV designed to compete with the Bentley Bentayga, as well as a large saloon intended to replace the canceled XJ EV.
