Jaguar's XF Sportbrake estate gets a final upgrade and now appears great value. Jonathan Crouch looks at what's on offer.

Ten Second Review

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake is an executive-segment estate that in its final form offers a 5 Series Touring/E-Class Estate rival for 3 Series Touring/C-Class pricing. In this improved form, there are sharper looks and high equipment levels. In addition, as before, this Sportbrake variant offers a 1,700-litre load space and can tow up to two tonnes, plus there's the option of AWD. But it won't be around for much longer.

Background

You don't associate Jaguar with estate cars. Which if you think about it is a little strange. The British have, after all, always liked them, whether as family load luggers or as stately 'shooting brake'-type designs. Even so, throughout its history, the Coventry brand has stuck to roots that lie in the production of saloons and sportscars. True, we did finally see an estate version of the compact X-Type in 2004, but even that was half-heartedly based on a Ford Mondeo and quickly forgotten when that smallest Jaguar model was quietly deleted from the range in 2010. Would this famous marque ever develop a proper estate model on its own purpose-built platform? That question was finally answered late in 2012 with the launch of this car, the XF Sportbrake. That estate body shape continued to sell, even after the launch of the second generation XF saloon in 2015. There was a light update in the Autumn of 2020, then a final upgrade in 2024 to create the model we're going to look at here.

Driving Experience

As you'd expect, mechanically, the Sportbrake offers up much the same recipe as you'd find in its saloon counterpart, though in this case, there's the addition of self-levelling rear suspension to ensure an effortless ride, even when towing loads that can be as heavy as 2,000kg. The XF range hinges around a 2.0-litre diesel four-cylinder engine and while that doesn't sound too exciting, it's where the big sales are. It now comes in a single 204PS D200 state of tune, only in rear wheel drive and features the brand's latest MHEV mild hybrid engine tech, which can assist the engine under acceleration. As a result, this rear-driven model gets to 60mph in 7.3s. The conventional petrol options continue much as before, 250 or 300PS versions of Jaguar's usual 2.0-litre Ingenium unit in the P250 (RWD) and P300 (AWD) variants. Both feature the engine technologies including a twin scroll turbocharger and Continuous Variable Valve Lift (CVVL), for a strong combination of refined performance and efficiency. The P250 makes 60mph in 6.7s, while the P300 AWD variant mamnages the same sprint in 5.9s. All engines are paired with Jaguar's eight-speed automatic gearbox, which can be controlled using the steering wheel shift paddles for added driver engagement. Across the XF range, driving dynamics suit a relaxed but purposeful style. four driving modes: There are four driving modes; Eco, Comfort, Sport and Rain and Snow. The chassis delivers near perfect 50:50 weight distribution and huge strides have been made to perfect refinement. Ride is another class-leading XF quality. This Jaguar shares its suspension set-up with the smaller XE model, which means struts with double wishbones at the front and an 'integral link' independent set-up at the rear. The steering uses the same electric power-assisted set-up as the Jaguar F-Type and XE, while active dampers are on the options list.

Design and Build

The XF has always been widely acknowledged as one of the cleanest pieces of styling in its class. In this finally updated form, it gets slimmer front and rear lights, a redesigned front bumper and smarter alloy wheel designs. Otherwise, things are as before. The rear glasshouse is artfully integrated into the car's existing chassis hard points, with a genuinely sleek roofline which arches over the rear quarter-lights. The window line tapers gracefully as the flanks meet the rear glass area with its continuous wrap-around curve. The one-piece tailgate incorporates a rear spoiler with integrated high-level stop light and a chrome blade finisher. The rear of the XF Sportbrake also sports full LED tail lights. There are no significant changes inside, so as before there's a centre console that sweeps up to a centrally-mounted 11.4-inch curved-glass HD touchscreen for the 'Pivi Pro' infotainment system, which of course has wireless 'Apple CarPlay'/'Android Auto' smartphone-mirroring and embedded dual-sim technology with over-the-air updates. The seats come with wide cushioning and a Jaguar Leaper embossed on the headrests. Through the wheel, the driver views a 12.3-inch HD Interactive Driver Display that replaces the conventional dials. The XF Sportbrake's load space features a 565-litre boot and 1,700-litres of cargo capacity when all the seats are folded down. You also get under floor stowage and of course a 60:40 split rear seat. Cabin Air Ionisation gives you and your family clean air and an optional super-sized panoramic roof floods the interior with light.

Market and Model

XF Sportback prices run from around £41,000 to just under £50,000. There's a premium of around £2,000 over the XF Saloon. In essence here, you're getting a larger Executive segment 5 Series Touring/E-Class Estate-sector model for the price of a smaller 3 Series Touring/C-Class Estate one; that's very good value indeed. There are no paltry specification levels either - only 'R-Dynamic SE Black', 'R-Dynamic HSE Black' and '300 Sport'. As for equipment, well key here is the introduction in recent years of a standard 11.4-inch 'Pivi Pro' centre-dash infotainment screen, which incorporates two LTE modems enabling the system to carry out multiple functions at the same time, such as streaming media and downloading SOTA updates, without compromising performance. You also get a 12.3-inch digital instrument binnacle screen which can show full-screen mapping. And another screen can be activated via Jaguar's 'ClearSight' interior rear view mirror which gives the driver an unobstructed view of the road behind. Using a wide angle rear-facing camera, the optional system feeds images to a high-definition screen within the frameless rear view mirror; unhindered by tall rear passengers, poor light or rain on the rear screen. The headlights can be specified with Pixel LED technology and Adaptive Driving Beam capability so that they alter their range to fit with road conditions and surrounding traffic. You can also now specify a Cabin air ionisation system that improves interior air quality through Nanoe technolgy, which helps remove allergens and unpleasant odours. Safety technology includes 'Forward Traffic Detection' which alerts you at times of reduced visbility when something is crossing your path up-front. And 'Forward Vehicle Guidance' which helps you place the car in low speed parking manoevres.

Cost of Ownership

As before, it helps the XF Sportbrake's cause that it's relatively light weight, thanks to the fact that so much of the structure of the car (75%) is fashioned from aluminium. The core 204PS 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engine features mild hybrid tech, which uses a Belt-integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) situated in the engine bay to harvest energy usually lost when slowing and braking, which is then stored in a 48V lithium-ion battery located beneath the rear loadspace. It is able to redeploy the stored energy to assist the engine when accelerating away while also delivering a more refined and responsive stop/start system. What about the WLTP-rated results of all this? Well, you're looking at 51.8mpg on the combined cycle and 143g/km of CO2, which isn't particularly class competitive. The petrol variants do without the MHEV tech - and it shows a bit. The P250 RWD version delivers 34.2mpg on the combined cycle and 188g/km of CO2. The 300 Sport version delivers 32.0mpg on the combined cycle and 202g/km of CO2. What else? You get the usual unremarkable three year warranty. And service intervals are set at 21,000miles or every 24 months, whichever comes first and it would be sensible to consider one of Jaguar's Service Plans that cover you for virtually everything in advance. There's a 'Standard Mileage Service Plan' that covers you for five years/50,000 miles. Or a 'High Mileage Service Plan' that covers five years/75,000 miles.

Summary

Light, spacious, good looking and efficient, the XF ought to have worried rival German makers more than it ever did and is probably at its best in Sportbrake form. Are there issues? A few. The range of engine variants on offer isn't as wide as you'll find elsewhere. And it's a pity that the mild hybrid tech was never extended to the Ingenium petrol engines. We wish there'd been a six cylinder powerplant option too. But you can forgive all that - and perhaps the age of this design - in view of the exceptional value proposition it now offers. The XF Sportbrake is a notably more prestigious thing than the 3 Series/C-Class/A5 estates it's now priced against. And it'll better get the goods in at IKEA, give the Labrador some breathing space and more easily suit the annual skiing trip to Chamonix. On paper, this car's Teutonic rivals might seem more impressive. But it's easy to be impressed by something without necessarily liking it very much. An XF Sportbrake might not have the last enth of efficiency you'd find in a premium German-badged estate of this sort. But it might still just be the car you'd rather have on your driveway.
