It is inevitable that a Sportbrake variant of the recently revealed second-generation Jaguar XF will be released and with this in mind, RM Design has decided to render how such an XF version could look.
Despite the fancy name, the Jaguar XF Sportbrake is essentially a sport-oriented wagon and consequently adopts a typical wagon body style. The following rendering shows that in revised XF specification, the Sportbrake body style works well.
As for the 2016 Jaguar XF more generally, only revealed in sedan form so far, it will launch with a selection of different engines. The range will start with the 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engines available with 163PS and 380Nm’s of torque or 180PS and 430Nm torque. Both are offered with six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions. The 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo diesel is also available with 300PS and a staggering 700Nm of torque. The 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine is available too, rated at 380PS and 450Nm torque.
The cabin ditches the pre-historic MMI system Jaguar used to use and replaces it with the new InControl Touch Pro premium infotainment system and a 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster. It is coupled to a bespoke 825W Meridian digital surround sound system with 17 speakers. The XF also sees the return of Dual View technology which simultaneously allows the driver to see information such as navigation, while the front seat passenger watches TV or a DVD.
