Jaguar XF Sportbrake

摘要

The Jaguar XF sedan was one of the stars of the 2007 Frankfurt motor show, It was great to look at inside and out and had excellent ride and handling. At last, the firm had a vehicle that could challenge the established class leaders in all respects. Except two. There were no four-cylinder engines, for one thing - a 2,179cc diesel was finally added to the range in 2010 -and there was no estate variant. Which was a problem, since that body style accounts for half of Europe's executive-class vehicle segment, which is dominated by the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class. When work began on the XF concept, a wide range of derivatives was conceived. But Jaguar is a small firm compared with its competitors so, after the sedan was launched, none of the other versions followed it into production, Until now.
