I'm very excited. I have been frustrated that we were denied the current beauty. I better start saving!

Bla, 2L 4 cylinder... :-(
=================================
My karma just ran over your dogma
Current Hers: '13 Lexus ES350
Current Mine: '08 Jaguar S-Type 4.2 "Satin Edition" (250.06 whp / 259.67 torque)

 

"It's likely the Sportbrake engine lineup will mirror that of the XF sedan's."

Sounds good to me.

 

As close as I can tell JaguarUSA has been on radio silence regarding this subject for 6 months. Does anyone have a inkling as to what if anything is going on. I am getting closer and closer to the time to replace the existing wagon.

 

Coming soon!

Confirmation on Jaguar USA:

Title: 2018 Jaguar XF Sportbrake® Wagon | Jaguar USA

 

This is such an awesome move. Can't believe it's coming to the States!

 

Does anyone have any official pictures of the 2018 XF Sportbrake, besides the topview on the Jaguar USA website?

 

What great good news. This will allow me to escape from the MB service department. Wagons are staging a comeback MB, Volvo, Buick, and now Jaguar. I expect the Jag could be the best of all. A lot will depend on the tech of the XF about which I am completely ignorant.

 

I emailed JagUSA a few days a go asking when the Wagon was going to be available. No response. Not even an 'I don't know." What a strange marketing program. Rock hard announcement, then nothing, big thing at Wimbledon, then nothing. I don't understand what is going on, but I have never been a student of Jag marketing.

 

If the Jaguar dealer service were anything like Mercedes dealer service, I'd actually consider buying another Jaguar. We've had an E350 wagon for 9 years now, and the service is one of the best things about the car. With Jaguar, dealer service as well as JLR support is the worst aspect of owning a Jaguar.

 

As you must know the great unveiling in June 14. Imagine the thought of an exciting wagon. Wow. I can't wait.

Several other announcements around the web, too.

The best looking wagon I can think of. Maybe only the ALFA 159 came close. Ian Callum is without peer. I'll buy one.

 

I agree. In the US and Canada, a V6 or similar for the XF is likely more popular than 4 cyl models--different picture in Europe due to fuel costs.
V6 is powerful, not as smooth as my inline 6 previously but has lots of torque and delivers the power NOW with the sophisticated Supercharger.

 

My son and I, both car nuts, really like what we call, in NA jargon, a Station Wagon. Nicely executed based on XF sedan.

 

A stunner. Wisely will come to the USA as AWD, 380HP motor only- good call. Too bad the interior still low grade, plastic-intensive compared to others like the new Volvo v90 ( which is over $10K less)......., but maybe worth it, if she drives like a true 'sportbrake'.

 

Yes. Great choice and of course it would be AWD which works great, trust me after last winter in the hills here. The Volve V90 has lovely interior but that anaemic 4 cylinder can hardly move the car. I compromised by living with the ho hum interior but loving the wonderful engine/txn drivetrain and well designed body/structure, roomy back seat and big 19 cu ft trunk.

 

The T6 twincharge is a great engine, and with dealer installed Polestar optimization is hardly anemic. 340HP, 0-60 under 6 sec. Don't know if you drove the V90CC - I did and quite impressive package.
Did you feel the same when Jaguar downsized from V8s to V6s back in 2013.........I sure loved my V8s....., but the 6 is........ OK also.

Comparing them fully loaded, sportbrake MSRP is $14k USD more.
