Jaguar has just dropped the first official image of the latest XF Sportbrake set to be revealed sometime next year.
Although the car pictured is only a prototype, it gives us a taste of the finished car’s design which from the front, looks identical to the sedan. After the B-pillar however, the sleek and flowing roof line of the sedan makes way for a more boxy rear end and much larger rear side windows.
The angle of the rear window is difficult to decipher from this image as there appears to be some body cladding hiding its true shape. If the previous-generation XF Sportbrake is anything to go by, expect a rather narrow rear window with the inclusion of a small roof-mounted spoiler.
As you’d imagine, the underpinnings of the new Sportbrake will be identical to that of the sedan. That means it will have the same aluminum platform and selection of engines. Among these engines will be Jaguar Land Rover’s latest 2.0-liter petrol Ingenium four-cylinder which depending on spec, can churn out either 197 hp, 247 hp or 296 hp.
At this stage, it’s unclear which of these specifications the engine will be offered in for the Sportbrake. Nonetheless, it will be joined by both 3.0-liter V6 petrol and diesel engines and a 161 hp, 2.0-liter diesel.
