some clues are many of the options aren't available on the base model, like heated seats, full power seats w/memory, power folding mirrors, other stuff from what i've heard ; Jaguar has a lot of options
Differentiate Base from S model
Hello.
I'm new to the brand having owned several sports cars before.
I'm very excited about my imminent purchase of a 2015 F-type Convertible.
The car is a 3.0 V6. How can I visually check it's a S or a Base model? Apart from the badges obviously.
Different digit in the VIN? Any cues?

My 2014 F-Type (base) has heated seats and wheel, leather power seats with memory, performance seat, vision pack, blind spot sensors, tornado wheels, etc. The options came to $13,000+ over the base price. It was in stock at the dealer at the time. The S option at that time came with posi-traction, the sound changing exhaust system and 40 more horsepower. However, I think the added horsepower are achieved through a computer chip rather than differences in the engine. I didn't feel at the time that the posi-traction and louder exhaust was cost effective and I could achieve the greater horsepower at some future date by messing with the ECU, if needed. The base is plenty fast enough. I would think the VIN # would tell you which vehicle it is.some clues are many of the options aren't available on the base model, like heated seats, full power seats w/memory, power folding mirrors, other stuff from what i've heard ; Jaguar has a lot of options
yes but on the S model all these options you paid for would be standard dont u think?My 2014 F-Type (base) has heated seats and wheel, leather power seats with memory, performance seat, vision pack, blind spot sensors, tornado wheels, etc. The options came to $13,000+ over the base price.

If you go to "autobytel.com/jaguar/f-type/2014/" it lists the differences for the 2014 model like I have. The "S" over the "base" got the ltd. slip differential, 19" wheels", 380hp versus 340 hp, sport suspension, high performance brakes and sport exhaust. Everything else like even larger wheels, leather interior, etc., etc., was extra. You can check them for other years as well but you find the data similar.yes but on the S model all these options you paid for would be standard dont u think?
