Will there be an XE Wagon?
Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum said in a recent interview that he knows what wagon, coupe and long wheelbase versions of the new XE would look like. Here is a wagon rendering by Dutch artist Remco Meulendijk, as shown on website Digital Trends.

autoxr1, I am sure the Sport wagon is going to be made. The question becomes whether it will be available in the US market or not. BMW has pretty much all but given up on their wagon version here in the US since if someone is going to go after a vehicle with hauling ability, they are going to go after an SUV. So, I can see it being released in the UK and maybe some other markets, but here in the US, not likely.

As posted above, there will no doubt be a "Sportwagen", but not for a bit. The car has to prove itself first. I would think a Sportwagen will become available more or less at the same interval as that of the XF version, maybe a but quicker if this new aluminium architecture speeds up development times.

The Jaguar XE Sportbrake has been speculatively rendered prior to a probable official introduction in the second half of the year.
Shortly after the Jaguar XE Sedan came out in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show we heard the car's program director Nick Miller the company is considering a plethora of derivatives, including a wagon which will likely get the Sportbrake moniker. The longer overhang will likely boost the XE's cargo capacity from the sedan's 455 liters to around 500 liters while the styling will likely have a lot in common with the attached render.
Aside from launching a Sportbrake version, Jaguar is also thinking about turning the XE into a convertible and a coupe while a long wheelbase sedan is also being considered. Jaguar has already downplayed the possibility of coming out with a "four-door coupe", but did say all-wheel drive and V8-powered variants are being analyzed.

That appears to be the same as the first one posted, other than the chrome window trim going black.

This one is a little uglier. The rear window is less steeply raked, too!
