I am into used V6S and I know that from MY2019 all cars should have Torque vectoring by braking as standard.
Do anybody please know, if prior cars never had this feature, or was it optional? Is any way how to know, and could it be deactivated by software or perhaps a fuse?

Thanks!

All my sales brochures cover vehicles up to MY16 (series I and II), before they went all soft!

TVbB was a standard feature on ALL F-Type S's and F-Type R's

It was not an option, and cannot be deactivated.

In these brochures are (almost) clearly said that it is only R - default, and in one brochure they say it is "available" also for base and S... So i would say it was optional up to the time point.

Nope - Nothing is clearly said with JLR...Before the hard copies were turned into .pdf's, some gremlins got into their system.
Taken from the paper brochure covering up to and including MY16.
Your other .pdf's are for the newer models, which I can't comment on.

From reviewing Jaguar information and comparing to TopiX there seems to be variations depending on country and MY. For example the US on the MY15 models got:

V6 340 - no diff or TVbB
V6S 380 - limited slip diff but no TVbB
V8S 495 - electronic active diff but no TVbB
V8R 550 - electronic active diff with TVbB

Things seemed to change through MY15/16 models as more features got pushed down through the engine range and as options. I'm presuming MrJag is not from UK either.

The only way to truely tell is lookup the VIN on Topix to find what an individual car has I guess.
