The company's design director Ian Callum was misquoted recently in an interview saying they would never build another wagon. What he really meant was that they wouldn’t make an estate version of the Jaguar XE. Auto Express reports that Jaguar might have already signed off the Sportbrake version of the Jaguar XF and that it could debut as soon as this September in the Paris Motor Show.
Callum recognized himself as a wagon lover when he spoke to the British publication, adding that China might also become interested in wagons after all. "There's a general feeling that as the market changes and families grow, the need for a more practical car than a sedan becomes more necessary," he said.
The new wagon will feature a coupe-like roofline and a rear end inspired by the lines of the new Jaguar F-Pace. Engine options will be the same with the regular Jaguar XF, with the British also planning a high-performance SVR version to rival the Audi RS6 and Mercedes E63 AMG.
