Five years after production of the second-gen started, the Jaguar XF is about to welcome its first mid-cycle refresh, as the British automaker is currently working on its facelift.
The wagon variant of the Jaguar XF, dubbed Sportbrake, will follow in the footsteps of the sedan by getting similar improvements, with the three body styles -including the China-only long-wheelbase XF L- expected to be inspired by the compact XE that was updated last year.

Jag’s prototypes continue keeping the thick camo on most body panels, which makes it kind of tricky to spot the changes. Nevertheless, we can still see that the front bumper has been modestly revised and that the headlights are also new. The back end follows the same recipe with the updated bumper and slim taillights.
While we have yet to check out the interior in detail, we expect it to add a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, like the smaller XE, in addition to the updated infotainment system and a third display that will be used to control the HVAC system and seat heating/ventilation. The center console might be revised as well and a new steering wheel could be added, whereas the rest of the updates will surround the usual trim and upholstery options.
We still don’t know if Jaguar’s Mercedes E-Class rival will receive the 395 HP 3.0-liter mild-hybrid unit and the uncertainty hovers over the V6 too. As for the actual engines that will make up the family, these are understood to include updated versions of the four-cylinder petrol and diesel units for fewer emissions.
