United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover SE Td6 Zermatt Silver
Jaguar XF Sportbrake



Will there be a 4WD version?

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake is the first ever estate version of the British company’s popular saloon, and only the second ever estate Jaguar has made (it usually makes executive saloons). The aim is to offer a more useful car to executives who find the XF saloon is too impractical for family life. Sportbrake is the name Jaguar has given its XF estate though its first ever estate was simply called the X-Type Estate.

Engines

The Sportbrake will be offered with two diesel engines and both with two outputs so consumers could choose between four potential set-ups. The most popular diesel is likely to be the 2.2-litre that comes with the choice of two power outputs: 161bhp and 197bhp. The 161bhp version on the standard 17-inch wheels emits 135g/km CO2 putting it into road tax band E and for company cars sits in the 18% BIK band for the tax year 2012/13. On bigger wheels the emissions creep up to 139g/km CO2 though that does not affect either its BIK or road tax banding and average fuel consumption is a claimed 55.4mpg. The 197bhp version has the same emissions and fuel consumption figures as the 161bhp version but beats it for the 0-60mph sprint clocking 8.2 seconds compared to 10 seconds dead. The other engine is a 3.0-litre V6 diesel with choice of either 237bhp or 271bhp, and both emit 163g/km (road tax band G) and both have a claimed average fuel consumption of 46mpg.

Luxury Interior

As with the XF saloon the estate version comes in six trim levels: SE Business, Luxury, Sport, Premium Luxury, Portfolio and the S versions of Luxury, Premium Luxury and Portfolio. All versions come with a premium interior including leather, wood veneers and stainless steel trim. Jaguar also offers almost 100 different ways to create a bespoke interior so there are plenty of choices. Also included is the trademark Jaguar DriveSelector, that rises out of the central divide between driver and front passenger when the ignition is switched on and enables the driver to select gears at a twist of the dial. There is also an electric parking brake, push button start and multi-function leather steering wheel. The boot is particularly big with 1,675 litres of load space and comes with a power tailgate. The rear seats are spilt 60/40 and there are remote releases to fold them fully flat located in the boot. To further enhance the XF Sportbrake there are several optional styling packs available including Black, Mirror and Sports Interior packs, as well as a comfort pack that includes heated front seats. Prices start from £31,490 for the entry level 2.2-litre Diesel SE Business and rise up to £51,505 for the top of the range, 3.0-litre Diesel S Portfolio. To find out about how the car drives and handles, and for more details, watch out for the full Jaguar XF Sportbrake review coming soon.

Just read a statement from JLR MD that this model is focused on a market segment that requires 4WD as an option due to snowy conditions a (large) part of the year. In the US market that was. He called it an important decision vital to the car.

The way I read it, that is a yes Smile

Gorgeous car by the way. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Well we had a reasonably snow-free winter this time around so the demand for 4WD saloons will drop until we get another one Wink

BTW I didn't mean that the UK is definitely NOT getting 4WD Sportbrakes (nothing's been announced AFAIK), but adding non-UK Euro markets to traditional 4WD estate buyers.

Strange they don't think there's a market in the UK for such a model - just look at how many Audi Avants that are on our roads.
I think they're missing a trick..................... Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Considering that a AWD would do very well in other RHD countries, I would not be surprised that there will be a AWD RHD version.

I would most definitely consider one when in NZ !!! MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
