2024 Jaguar F-Type Convertible

Is the 2024 Jaguar F-Type Convertible a Good Car?

"The F-Type's credentials as a head-turner are not in question, and now that the V8 engine is mandatory for 2024, we can no longer criticize its lesser engines for their lack of sauce. Sadly, there won't be any more F-Types after this year, so if you want a beautiful British drop-top with a snarling V8 — and you don't mind dealing with a tech interface from yesteryear — now's the time to talk to your Jaguar dealer."—Ranked #6 out of 6 Premium Luxury Convertibles

Which 2024 Jaguar F-Type Convertible Should I Buy?

MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Jaguar F-Type Convertible that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.

1. 2024 Jaguar F-Type Convertible Rear-Wheel Drive (5.0 S/C)

• Base Price: $79,900
• MPG Combined: 19
• Drive Type: Rear-wheel drive
• Engine: 5.0-liter V8
• Aspiration: Supercharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 444 
• Torque: 428 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 4.0 sec
• Weight: 3,785 lbs
• Length: 176.0 in

The F-Type's appeal is all about that supercharged V8, so it's fitting that Jag has dropped the V6 and (gasp!) four-cylinder engines from years past. With the top down and that V8 roaring, it's about as good as driving gets.

2. 2024 Jaguar F-Type Convertible All-Wheel Drive (5.0 S/C)

• Base Price: $91,900
• MPG Combined: 18
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 5.0-liter V8
• Aspiration: Supercharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 444 
• Torque: 428 lb⁠-⁠ft
• Weight: 3,945 lbs
• Length: 176.0 in

This is technically the "75" edition with a handful of add-ons aimed at celebrating Jaguar's 7.5 decades of building cars like the F-Type. Our advice? Keep a lot of money in your pocket and get the entry-level rear-drive convertible instead. Same engine, less weight, less coin.

3. 2024 Jaguar F-Type R Convertible (5.0 S/C All-Wheel Drive)

• Base Price: $115,000
• MPG Combined: 18
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 5.0-liter V8
• Aspiration: Supercharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 575 
• Torque: 516 lb⁠-⁠ft
• Weight: 4,130 lbs
• Length: 176.0 in

Our primary advice is to drive the 2024 F-Type convertible configurations back to back, if at all possible. Do you really want AWD versus the base rear-wheel-drive setup? Does the R-specific, 575-horsepower tune of the supercharged V8 move the needle enough for you to spring for it? You can't go wrong here, obviously, and we envy you those test drives if you manage to make them happen.
