We assume that it won’t be long before Jaguar pulls the final wraps off its new XF Sportbrake, especially since the British carmaker has just posted on its Twitter page that “all will be revealed in the New Year”.

In addition, Jaguar seems to have embraced the…marketing spirit of Christmas releasing one more shot of its executive estate model, this time with Santa Claus filling its boot with gifts.

From what we can tell from this picture, the rakish roofline may offer the XF Sportbrake plenty of style, but it doesn’t seem to help much when it comes to practicality – at least when compared with a luggage-huger like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate.

The wagon derivative of the XF will be offered with the same engine lineup as the saloon including a 510HP supercharged V8 petrol for the range-topping XF-R Sportbrake.
