Jaguar has embraced crossovers with the E- and F-Pace but that hasn't stopped the company from introducing the XF Sportbrake in Los Angeles.

Set to compete with the Mercedes E-Class Estate, the XF Sportbrake is a stylish station wagon that features LED headlights and a long sloping roof. The model also has a dual exhaust system and low profile roof rails that can hold approximately 100 kg of accessories such as skis and snowboards.


The interior echos the sedan but the Sportbrake is distinguished by a larger luggage compartment that can hold 897 liters of cargo. When the split folding rear seats are lowered, the cargo capacity climbs to 1,973 liters.

The standard model comes with an 8-inch touchscreen display but there's an optional InControl Touch Pro system with a 10-inch display. Other options include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic glass sunroof, and a 17-speaker Meridian audio system. Customers can also order interior mood lighting and an air purification system which promises to neutralize odors and remove bacteria.


At launch, the wagon will be offered exclusively with a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 380 hp and 449 Nm of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system. This setup allows the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.

The XF Sportbrake will go on sale later this year and pricing starts at US$ 70,450.
