Jaguar XF Sportbrake revealed
The interior provides spacious accommodation flooded with natural light from the full-length 1.6sq m panoramic roof. Rear occupants benefit from enhanced knee room and improved headroom, while the practical loadspace can accommodate 565 litres of luggage.
The suspension set-up has been specially calibrated to reflect the demands placed on premium lifestyle estate models. The stiff and lightweight set-up gives the spacious estate Jaguar’s signature dynamics: a sports car-inspired character with agile handling and dynamic responses. Self-levelling air sprung rear suspension is fitted as standard to ensure the XF Sportbrake maintains its composure, even when fully loaded.
Jaguar’s optional Configurable Dynamics system enables drivers to fine-tune settings for the steering, transmission and throttle. With Adaptive Dynamics dampers fitted, customers can also tune the suspension settings for the ultimate personalisation of the driving experience.
Advanced software functions developed by Jaguar Land Rover, such as All Surface Progress Control (ASPC), Adaptive Surface Response (ASR) and Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) put the Sportbrake’s traction in low-grip situations and cornering ability on the same level as the saloon.
Customers looking for the ultimate confidence can choose an AWD drivetrain and Jaguar’s IDD system, which eliminates the understeer and electronic interventions that typically characterise dynamic driving in all-wheel-drive models. As a result, the AWD XF Sportbrake retains Jaguar’s trademark rear-wheel-drive feel and agile steering responses.
The XF Sportbrake continues Jaguar’s leadership in aluminium-intensive body construction to deliver a lightweight design that is both stiffer and lighter than its predecessor. Featuring an innovative new single-piece polymer tailgate, the Sportbrake delivers a near perfect 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution providing the foundations for its exceptional handling and outstanding efficiency.
Measuring 4,955mm, the new Sportbrake is 6mm shorter than the previous model, but its wheelbase has been lengthened by 51mm to 2,960mm. This optimises rear legroom and load space and contributes to the vehicle’s exceptionally refined ride quality. Aerodynamics are also superior with a slippery drag coefficient of just 0.29 contributing to emissions as low as 118g/km.
Jaguar Land Rover’s range of advanced four and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines provides customary Jaguar performance, efficiency and towing capacity.
The range starts with a rear-wheel-drive 163PS Ingenium diesel with variable geometry turbocharging that drives like a true Jaguar and provides exceptional efficiency. The advanced powerplant delivers emissions of just 118g/km with fuel efficiency of 62.8mpg (4.5 l/100km) on the Combined cycle.
At the other end of the performance spectrum, customers can choose the 300PS Turbocharged V6 diesel engine. Paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, this combination provides sports car performance with the sprint from 0-100km/h completed in 6.6 seconds (0-60mph in 6.1 seconds)
The new XF Sportbrake range comprises XF Sportbrake Prestige, XF Sportbrake Portfolio, XF Sportbrake R-Sport and XF Sportbrake S.
The powertrain range will include:
Diesel
- 163PS 2.0-litre diesel manual and automatic; RWD
- 180PS 2.0-litre diesel automatic; RWD and AWD
- 240PS 2.0-litre diesel automatic; AWD
- 300PS 3.0-litre V6 diesel automatic; RWD
Petrol
- 250PS 2.0-litre petrol automatic; RWD

Jaguar XF Sportbrake updated with 300 Sport trim, Amazon Alexa and what3words integration
Offered exclusively with the Ingenium four-cylinder petrol engine and all-wheel drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics, the Jaguar XF 300 Sport models are distinguished by their Black Pack, Gloss Black contrast roof and privacy glass.
Customers can also specify a fixed panoramic roof on the XF Sportbrake 300 Sport.
The XF 300 Sport Sportbrake model features 20-inch wheels: ‘Style 5107’. The distinctive five split-spoke design is available in two finishes: Gloss Silver with Gloss Black inserts is offered as standard, while the optional Satin Black with Gloss Black inserts delivers even more visual appeal.
It can be specified in the full range of solid and metallic colours, including a choice of two premium metallic paints – Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver. Highlights of the interior include Satin Charcoal Ash veneers, metal gearshift paddles and bright metal pedals.
The Jaguar XF 300 Sport Sportbrake features double wishbone front- and Integral Link rear suspension systems, enhanced by Adaptive Dynamics: it continuously adjusts damping forces to deliver an optimum balance of comfort and agility. Configurable Dynamics enables customers to tailor steering, suspension and powertrain settings to their individual taste.
The four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine generates 300PS and 400Nm of torque. Together with all-wheel drive with Intelligent driveline Dynamics, the XF 300 Sport Sportbrake can accelerate to 62mph in 6.2 seconds. Top speed is 155mph.
2023 Model Year XF powertrains
The XF Sportbrake model range also offers the four-cylinder Ingenium diesel mild hybrid (MHEV) engine, with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. This 204PS unit develops 430Nm of torque, with refinement and responsiveness enhanced by the MHEV system. The Belt integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) recuperates energy usually lost during braking or deceleration by storing it in a compact 48-volt lithium-ion battery: this energy is redeployed to assist the engine when accelerating away. It also makes the stop-start function quieter and faster than conventional systems.
Customers can also choose the 250PS four-cylinder Ingenium petrol. Offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive, this refined engine develops maximum torque of 365Nm from 1,300-4,500rpm, delivering excellent driveability and strong performance. With this powertrain the XF Sportbrake accelerates to 62mph in 6.9 seconds.
Ask Alexa
All Jaguar XF Sportbrake models now come with Amazon Alexa. Seamlessly integrated, it brings the familiar Alexa experience into the vehicles and provides natural voice interaction with the Pivi Pro infotainment system’s features including navigation, music, podcasts and audiobooks, calls and compatible smart devices.
Requests such as ‘Alexa, navigate me home’, ‘Alexa, play my chill-out playlist’ and ‘Alexa show me nearby coffee shops’ can all be made by voice. You can also check news, weather, and manage your schedule or shopping list – just by asking. Alexa lives in the cloud and is always getting smarter, with new features and updates continually being added and delivered automatically.
The Alexa voice experience is intuitive to use, making it easy for customers to operate keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Alexa even makes it possible to control compatible smart home features such as heating and lighting from the comfort of
XE or XF’s luxurious interiors. Just ask: ‘Alexa, set the living room temperature to 20 degrees’, for example.
Existing owners of XE and XF models with Pivi Pro are among more than 55,000 Jaguar customers to have been offered Alexa in a software-over-the-air update5.
Customers in the UK will also be able to control and check on their car from anywhere using the Jaguar Remote Skill on any Alexa-enabled device4. ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar if my doors are locked’ or ‘Alexa, Ask Jaguar if my windows are open’ are just some of the features customers can use.
Now integrated into Pivi Pro is what3words navigation (market-dependant). Offering an alternative to setting destinations using post codes, what3words allows you to do this with greater precision via a unique combination of three words representing a three-metre square location: just type the words – clean.corporate.card for example – into Pivi’s navigation search box.
If you want to know the what3words reference for a given location, a long press on the map shown in the touchscreen will give you this information. Like Alexa, this feature has already been delivered to existing owners of XE and XF models with Pivi Pro via a software-over-the-air update. what3words is available globally except in China, Japan and South Korea.
Wireless Apple CarPlay® is standard. Wireless Android Auto™ is also standard. In addition, Pivi Pro can connect two phones simultaneously, and an optional wireless device charging pad in the centre console features a signal booster to improve network reception and Wi-Fi.
