2012 Jaguar XF Sportbrake though the front of the car looks just like a regular Jaguar XF, the company confirms that every body part of the XF Sportbrake aft of the B-pillar is new or unique. Even so, the XF Sportbrake is only 0.2 inch longer than its sedan forbear, and weighs only 154 pounds more than the sedan. Rear-seat passengers also enjoy an extra 1.9 inches of headroom compared to in the four-door.
The engine drive will be available in Europe with Jaguar’s 2.2L four-cylinder, turbo-diesel powerplant and a pair of 3.0L twin-turbo, six-cylinder engine variants with either 237-hp or 271-hp. All engine choices will be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Jaguar is yet to confirm prices, but we’d expect a Sportbrake to cost around £2000 more than the equivalent XF saloon. That means a likely starting point of around £33,000, which is in line with its key rivals.
Cargo capacity with the rear seats in place is 19.4 cubic feet, up from 17.7 in the sedan, while folding the seats provides an ample 59.2 cubic feet of storage. Most of the rear chassis is common between the XF Sportbrake and the sedan version, although the wagon has self-leveling air suspension to cope with extra loading while also providing sporty handling. Jaguar also says the XF Sportbrake will be "an accomplished tow vehicle.
In addition, Jaguar has swapped the saloon’s conventional rear suspension for air suspension that ensures the car remains level – even when it’s heavily loaded.
