Jaguar has revealed details of the XF Sportbrake, a versatile derivative of the multi award-winning XF saloon, which made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show last month.
Entirely new from the B-pillars backwards, the XF Sportbrake has remote-fold levers dropping the 60:40 split rear seats (with integral ski-hatch) to create up to 1,675 litres of load-space
It is a full 5-seater with an additional 48mm of rear headroom compared to the XF sedan. New rear air suspension allows for self-leveling while load carrying with no dynamic penalty.
Jaguar's adaptive dynamics system - which continuously monitors the suspension and can adjust damping rates accordingly up to 500 times a second - is available on all XF Sportbrake versions.
The tailgate features soft-close as standard, and can be specified with fully powered open/close functionality while acclaimed premium-quality interior materials used in the cabin are also a feature of the load-space.
Jaguar's range of four- and six-cylinder turbo-diesel engines will drive the Sportbrake, which matches the XF saloon for aerodynamics, torsional stiffness and dynamic handling ability.
A range of accessories - both internally mounted by floor rails and externally by roof rails - extends the versatility of the XF Sportbrake still further.
No decision has been made yet whether the XF Sportbrake will be launched in New Zealand.
