2021 Jaguar F-Type Interior

The 2021 Jaguar F-Type loses some of its appeal due to its interior. Seating space is snug, and the seat cushions aren’t all that comfortable. The interior styling is somewhat dated, and the materials are a mix of high-quality leather and lower-quality plastics. Rear visibility isn’t great either, but that’s par for the course in this segment.

• "The interior can feel a bit drab in its monochromatic hue, but the aluminum trim helps break things up a bit." -- CNET
• "Tailored leather interior, punctuated with suede cloth accents, oozes British class. Pleasant design and satisfying heft to buttons, switches and knobs, although plastic steering wheel buttons feel cheap. Not quite as well-built as German rivals; we noticed a few squeaks here and there." -- Edmunds (2018)
• "The cockpit feels confined, the driver's sight lines are troubled, and the aggressive, thinly padded sport seats are supportive but not actually comfortable. The F-type coupe is a serious sports car, not just a snappy ride to the airport. … While it's generally civilized, the car always remains a pretty tough proposition -- a little noisy, a little uncomfortable, and a little more than you bargained for." -- Automobile Magazine (2015)

Cargo

The F-Type coupe has 14.4 cubic feet of cargo space, and the F-Type convertible has 7.3 cubic feet. Both dimensions are above average for the luxury sports car class. Small-item storage inside the cabin is limited though.

• "The hatchback offers up a decent 14.4 cubic feet of storage -- a whopping 4.3 cubes more than the Mercedes-AMG GT coupe can muster -- which is enough for a decent amount of groceries or a set of golf clubs." -- CNET
• "The coupe's trunk space measures 14.4 cubic feet; a couple of golf bags should fit. The convertible's luggage area is only 7.3 cubic feet." -- Kelley Blue Book (2020)
• "Interior storage is sparse, even for the class. There's a small netted area between and behind the seats that's hard to reach, slim door pockets, and cupholders that are average in width but shallow. Glovebox is only big enough for an owner's manual, and the center console is slim and shallow." -- Edmunds (2019)

Seating

The Jaguar F-Type is a two-door sports car with two seats. These seats provide ample support for sportier driving, but the cushions are firm and not particularly accomodating for longer-distance travel. Head- and legroom are in short supply as well. Leather upholstery and power-adjustable seats are standard; heated and ventilated seats are available.

The F-Type does not come with LATCH car-seat connectors.

• "Inside, a pair of redesigned seats offer solid support without feeling constricting, and as before, the leather feels premium on every surface it graces." -- CNET
• "The F-Type’s cabin could be described charitably as ‘cozy.’” -- Kelley Blue Book (2020)
• "The 12-way power seats have firm but generous padding, with the kind of lateral support needed for spirited driving. While the seats aren't ideal for long road trips, they're adequately comfortable over a couple hundred miles." -- Edmunds (2019)

The F-Type’s touch screen is a big improvement over previous iterations, though it has a tendency to respond slowly to inputs, and its menu layout can be cumbersome.

Available features include blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, hands-free parallel park assist, a 12-speaker stereo, proximity keyless entry, a power liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated windshield, and a heated steering wheel.

• "It's much better than the last generation of telematics tech, but it's still pokey to respond and a little confusing to navigate, and some of the icons on the screen are decidedly hard to hit, even at a standstill." -- CNET
• "A 12.3-inch digital instrument panel has replaced the traditional analog gauges. It has three display themes, but the default setting features a large tachometer front and center." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "Most controls are well-placed and easy to use. There's a good balance of buttons and touchscreen controls, with a relatively uncluttered steering wheel." -- Edmunds (2019)
