Jaguar XF Sportbrake Geneva 2012 Debut

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake will debut at Geneva 2012

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake – the long awaited Jaguar XF Estate – will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake (XF Estate) has been a long time coming, but Jaguar finally gave official confirmation the XF Sportbrake was on the way back in November.

Since that official confirmation of the Sportbrake we’ve had a couple of teases from Jaguar, first with a photo of Santa loading gifts in to the boot of the Sportbrake – complete with @sportbrake camouflage – and a subsequent tease with an image of the Sportbrake festooned with stuff it will accommodate pasted across the back.

All of which pointed to a reveal sooner rather than later, and now we learn that Jaguar will debut the XF Sportbrake at the Geneva Motor Show in March ahead of the new estate going on sale.

What we still aren’t sure about is exactly what variants of the XF Sportbrake Jaguar will announce. We’re sure there will be no 4WD XF Sportbrake until the next generation XF arrives in a couple of years, and it’s sure that there will be both an XF Sportbrake 3.0 litre diesel and the new 2.2 diesel. It also seems highly likely Jaguar will offer the Sportbrake in Luxury, Premium Luxury and Portfolio trim.

It also seems likely there will be the same two power versions of both the 2.2 diesel and 3.0 diesel, but will we get an XFR Sporbrake? It would make a lot of sense as a halo car for the XF range, and it would offer up impressive competition to the German super estates. But will Jaguar think it worth launching an XFR Sportbrake – which won’t be a huge seller – until the next generation XF arrives?

We’ll probably have to wait until the XF Sportbrake debuts in Geneva to find out.
