JAGUAR XF

The Jaguar XF saloon is one of the most stylish executive cars, so you'll find no complaint from us that the Sportbrake is identical to it at the front.As in the saloon, so in the Sportbrake, Jaguar has pulled out all the stops to make the cabin every bit as special as the body. That means it shares the wonderful piece of theatre when you press the starter button: the round gear selector rises.The Sportbrake is just 5mm longer than the four-door XF and less than 70kg heavier, so it drives every bit as well as the saloon – which is very well indeed. Jaguar is at pains to emphasise that the Sportbrake is deliberately named – as far as the company is concerned, any Jaguar, even an estate, has to provide a sporting drive.The XF Sportbrake is a wonderfully elegant piece of design, and one that is very distinctive, not least because its rivals are predominantly German. It's also a really good car to drive.
