(MAHWAH, N.J.) ‑ April 5, 2016 ‑ Jaguar is proud to announce that the F‑TYPE was awarded the 2016 Vincentric Best Value in America award for the Luxury Sports Car segment. This marks the third year the F‑TYPE has received the honor.
The Vincentric Best Value in America awards, now in its 12th year, are model specific honors that determine the best value in each segment. Value is determined using a statistical analysis that incorporates the total cost of ownership of all vehicles for the 2016 model year along with the current market price of those vehicles.
Since its introduction in 2014, the Jaguar F‑TYPE range has expanded from three models to six. The 2017 lineup will consist of the F‑TYPE, F‑TYPE S, and the recently announced range topping F‑TYPE SVR. A new entry model F‑TYPE will feature a supercharged 340‑hp 3.0L V6 mated to the 6‑speed manual transmission and come standard with a fixed metal roof in the coupe configuration and a new 6‑way adjustable partially electric seat, as well as new standard features such as a valet mode and solar attenuating windshield glass. On an equipment adjusted basis, this new model represents an overall savings of about $1,700 over the previous model year F‑TYPE and gives customers a new lower price point for getting into the vehicle.
With MSRP starting at $61,4001 for the Coupe and $65,4001 for the Convertible, the new entry price level for 2017 Jaguar F‑TYPE builds upon the pricing realignment strategy as part of The Next Generation of Jaguar in which an improved competitive value position was brought to market through a combination of new entry priced models, increased standard equipment and lower MSRPs that all help the brand target the heart of the luxury market. In addition, every 2017 model year F‑TYPE and all 2017 Jaguar models will come standard with Jaguar EliteCare2, the brand's new best‑in‑class warranty package.
