New for 2014: Jaguar

2014 Jaguar Overview

Though small in number, Jaguar's lineup of 2014 models has undergone some significant revisions, most notable being the addition of the all-new F-Type convertible. The company has also upgraded its XF sedan with a high-performance XFR-S model, while the XK boasts a new XKR-S GT offering. The latter two Jaguars also arrive with revised option packages and new safety features.

Also heavily updated is the 2014 Jaguar XJ, which brings the XJR nameplate back into the fold. It sports a more widely available supercharged V-6 engine, improved materials, and a host of options that includes touch-screen seat controls, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a premium audio package.

2014 Jaguar F-Type

All-new for 2014, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Jaguar F-Type 2-passenger soft-top convertible is available in three trim levels: base, equipped with a 340-horsepower, supercharged V-6 engine; S, fitted with a 380-horsepower version of the same supercharged V-6; and the S V-8, which is motivated by a supercharged 8-cylinder engine that delivers 495 horsepower.

For 2014, the Jaguar XJ sedan adds an XFR-S variant with production limited to 100 units. This exclusive model features a supercharged, 5.0-liter V-8 engine tuned to deliver 550 horsepower, as well as substantial chassis and aerodynamic upgrades that help it achieve a Jaguar-estimated top speed of 186 mph. The lineup also includes the XF 2.0, equipped with a 240-horsepower, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine; RWD and all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of the XF 3.0, which serve as host to a 340-horsepower, 3.0-liter supercharged V-6; XF Supercharged fitted with a 470-horsepower V-8; and the XFR, which houses a 510-horsepower V-8 under its hood.

In addition to the XFR-S, the 2014 Jaguar XF lineup now includes a new safety package consisting of items such as a blind-spot monitoring system, active high-beam headlights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Upgraded sport seats with 18-way adjustment for the driver and 14-way adjustment for the passenger are optional on all XF models, and a new performance package outfits the XFR with a sport exhaust system and XFR-S-sourced chassis upgrades.
