Spied Jaguar “Sportbrake” is a Jag-Wagon

admin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:15:27 +0000

This Jaguar XF Sportbrake for 2012, spied overseas, looks to be driving the auto maker towards wagon design. XF is quickly becoming one of the better known and highly talked about models from Jag in years. The ‘Sportbrake’ variant would include a more powerful engine, and in this case, sleeking and roomier design.

In fact, the Jag looks to be taking design ideas from 1980′s station wagons. Spied photos (including one seen above) feature camo over the vehicle’s rear.

PS-Garage took it amongst themselves to computer-generate what they believe a new rear of XF will look like once production models are ready:

That’s right kiddos, the image above is NOT an officially released Jaguar photo – but a computer created speculation of what 2012′s XF Sportbrake may look like upon its release. However, we have seen a huge number of concept and camo vehicles released online throughout 2010 and 2011, as auto makers intentionally leak images in order to get early feedback from their buyers and hardcore fans.

Jaguar XF Facelift Leaked

We knew it would happen – a photo of the 2012 Jaguar XF has leaked online, ahead of the auto maker’s official unveiling at the New York International Auto Show.

This updated model features a newly designed hood, revised front grille, sleeker XJ-inspired headlights and all around luxury goodness. According to reports, the rear end includes modified rear bumper and restyled taillights. But we haven’t seen any official leaked photos of those.

Underneath XF’s hood will (likely) be a new 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel, with 187 horsepower 332 lb-ft of torque. As previously reported by sources online, the engine enables Jaguar XF to accelerate from 0-62 in 8.5 seconds, hit a top speed of 140 miles per hour, and average 43.5 miles per gallon.

Jaguar XF Hybrid

Jaguar, like so many other auto makers, is going hybrid. Jag has unveiled a XF hybrid concept at a Low Carbon Vehicle event in the UK.

While details are limited, reports state the XF featured an advanced flywheel hybrid system. Currently undergoing development, this vehicle has a stop-start city mode, which allows the flywheel to gather energy during braking and dispute it during start-up. When combined with an engine stop-start system, fuel consumption can be lowered by as much as 20%.

Besides becoming extra fuel efficient, the Jaguar Xf Hybrid can deliver an 80 hp boost for 7-seconds. While that’s not very long, it would come in handy during acceleration or while overtaking someone on the Turnpike.

Jaguar hasn’t made any official announcements as of yet, but rumor suggest production will begin shortly.

Jaguar XF Brings Home ‘Design of the Year Award’

The Jaguar XF was recently awarded Fleet World’s “Design Of the Year Award”. This is the second year in a row that the automaker has been presented with this award.

The Jaguar XF has seen world wide recognition since its September unveiling, picking up 12 prestigious international awards. Jaguar’s Chairman of Judges George Emerson commented:
“The Jaguar C-XF won the Editor’s Award in last year’s Fleet World Honours largely on the strength of its appearance – a quite stunning car to look at. With XF, when you get inside the cabin and feel the quality, then drive it on the open road you realise that the company has delivered on its promise. It is an exceptional car that turns heads like no other in its class.” The Jaguar XF was also a recipient of the “Car of the Year” award presented by What Diesel Magazine as well as Top Gear’s “Limo of the Year” award.
