For example, the Sportbrake’s cargo capacity is very close to the comparable F-Pace (31.7 cubic feet with the rear seats up in the former, 33.5 cubic feet in the latter) the negligible loss in capacity might be worth it to have more car-like driving dynamics and a sleeker, low-down look. It’s also worth considering if you’re thinking about buying a crossover with the need for cargo space as a justification. Who It’s For: While expensive, the Sportbrake feels like the ultimate compromise for somebody who needs to reconcile between having a practical, utilitarian car and something that’s fun and beautiful. Want to have some backroad fun? It’ll do that too. Want to take the kids to school in style? It’ll do that. Want to fill it up with a massive IKEA haul? It’ll do that. It’s a well-rounded car in that it does most things incredibly well. There’s also the sleek, sublime profile that handily shakes the fuddy-duddy dad image station wagons have had for years. The Good: The XF S Sportbrake feels like the embodiment for that old Jaguar slogan “Grace… Space… Pace.” The wagon has a cavernous cargo area, rides comfortably when you want it to and drives exceptionally fast on command handling is exceptional. Let’s hope America proves them right because the Sportbrake is worth keeping here. It’ll do a 0-60 mph sprint in 5.3 seconds.Īccording to Autoblog, Jaguar brought the car to the US because 1) they like it so much and 2) because the cost to homologate was small enough to make the gambit worthwhile. It comes with a 380-horsepower supercharged V6 and only a 380-horsepower supercharged-V6. The Jag Wagon sits on the same modular platform as the XF Sedan and F-Pace but offers more utility than the former and a more car-like experience than the latter. Last year it decided to take a chance and bring its gorgeous, XF S Sportbrake stateside.
“We buy too many crossovers and SUVs.” Simply put, a fast wagon wouldn’t sell well enough here to justify the costs to sell it in the first place.īut Jaguar - sweet, debonair Jaguar - has taken pity on us. It will then proceed to dash our dreams and crush our spirits with the caveat that it will be sold everywhere but the US. Every year, without fail, some foreign auto marque will debut a svelte, swoopy wagon, usually replete with a fast engine.
