2012 Jaguar XF Sportbrake.
In XF Sportbrake, car and driver connect. Its cutting-edge technology is designed to empower the driver and enhance every aspect of the driving experience.
Intuitive communication between driver and XF Sportbrake is through the Touch-screen which provides control over key interior functions, including infotainment, climate control and phone. The unique JaguarDrive Control™ reconfigures power and ride to any driving conditions.
XF Sportbrake’s luxurious cabin is alive with intelligent and responsive features designed for greater comfort, and increased driving pleasure.
See the light.
Phosphor blue halo illumination picks out the switches, JaguarDrive Selector™, start button, Electric Parking Brake (EPB) and instrument panel, as well as the centre and upper consoles. Depending on the model chosen, the doors may also feature Phosphor blue illumination.
Hold and control.
XF Sportbrake’s leather steering wheel incorporates switches for the cruise control and Interactive Voice, if it is fitted. It can also be used to control the audio output – changing between CD tracks, radio stations or selections on an MP3 player.
Take a seat.
XF Sportbrake offers a wide range of seat designs and colours. Improved seat styles provide increased support during performance driving.
Cabin character.
With eight interior finish options and five different exquisite veneers, XF Sportbrake cabin has an impressive array of personalisable options to suit all tastes.
Desire. Drama. Drive.
XF Sportbrake is performance and versatility with dramatic coupé styling. Exterior styling that can be made more personal with the Aerodynamic Pack or Black Pack. Inside, the ‘start’ button pulsates red as XF Sportbrake gets ready for the driver to engage the engine. The JaguarDrive Selector™, with its cool Phosphor blue light, rises from the centre console as the air vents roll open. Generous on the inside, sleek on the outside, XF Sportbrake is ingeniously styled with Jaguar’s classic design aesthetics.
Exterior styling.
XF Sportbrake incorporates all of the XF signature front design cues. Streamlined front wings with revised air vents and a resculpted bonnet create dynamic contours. The effect is heightened by the remodelled front grille and the exciting new front bumper designs.
Intelligent front lighting.
Sleeker headlamp units provide an assertive look for XF Sportbrake. The Bi-function HID Xenon headlamps are available with Adaptive technology, allowing the beam to bend in the direction of steering. Drivers have the further option of intelligent high beam, which will automatically turn the full beam on and off as necessary. Headlamp washers are standard.
Signature blade.
XF Sportbrake’s headlamp units incorporate daytime running lights arranged in ‘J Blade’ formation – now a visual signature of the Jaguar brand.
Primed profile.
Streamlined and shaped with coupé-like styling, XF Sportbrake’s roofline forms a dramatic silhouette. Its sweeping roofline arches over the sleek rear quarter-lights to merge with the contours of the wraparound tailgate privacy glass.
A telling tailgate.
The one-piece tailgate incorporates a rear spoiler with integrated high-level stop light and a chrome blade finisher. The rear of XF Sportbrake also sports a new bumper design with full LED tail lights. An optional electronic tailgate close brings luxury car technology to the XF Sportbrake.
Aerodynamic pack.
XF Sportbrake’s dynamic lines can be accentuated with the optional Aerodynamic Pack. The unique front bumper design features black mesh inserts for the lower air intakes. Sculpted side sills and a distinctive rear spoiler express the undeniable power and style of XF Sportbrake.
Black pack.
With XF Sportbrake, Jaguar offers the ultimate in assertive styling with a pure gloss black finish for the front grille and surround. The new front bumper blades, 'Kalimnos' alloy wheels and rear quarter-lights combine with a unique body coloured signature blade.
Spirited performance.
XF Sportbrake delivers all the performance features of the XF with all the space of an estate. It combines performance and drivability, refinement and effortless power with a spacious load capacity. Three exceptional diesel engines satisfy different driving requirements whether outstanding fuel economy is the priority or power performance. XF Sportbrake provides self-levelling rear suspension, optional Adaptive Dynamics that calculate the optimum ride for the terrain and a smart 8-speed transmission for almost imperceptible, superfast gear shifts with the ability to multi-downshift, avoiding any loss of power between changes.
Responsive, powerful, exhilarating, XF Sportbrake’s strong rigid body architecture provides exceptional driving experience with taut, responsive steering that will satisfy the most demanding driver.
JaguarDrive. Choose your drive.
JaguarDrive Control™ is XF Sportbrake’s automatic transmission. It is controlled through the precision engineered JaguarDrive Selector™ which rises into your hand as the ‘start’ button is pressed. Drive mode choices include Dynamic Mode, for more responsive acceleration, and Winter Mode for more progressive control in slippery conditions.
Adaptive Dynamics: Designing the perfect ride.
Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system is available for XF Sportbrake; designed to sharpen and hone its already impressive handling agility. Adaptive Dynamics delivers a superb balance between a comfortable, luxury, car ride and responsive sports car handling. The system analyses car, driving style and road conditions 500 times a second and continuously adjusts suspension to maintain a flat and level body. It improves handling without any loss of ride comfort.
Servotronic steering.
XF Sportbrake’s variable-ratio power-assisted Servotronic Steering makes it easier to park and manoeuvre while giving more accurate control at higher speeds.
Adaptive Cruise Control: Stress free driving.
When the optional Adaptive Cruise Control is on, a radar in the front bumper monitors the vehicle in front and, if it slows, the system automatically slows XF Sportbrake to maintain a constant distance. Once the road clears it will take the car back up to the pre-set speed. The radar also operates the Forward Alert, giving the driver an audible warning if traffic ahead slows quickly or another vehicle moves into the same lane. Adaptive Cruise Control is also compatible with the optional Aerodynamic Pack.
Electric Parking Brake: Quick release.
XF Sportbrake’s braking system works with the JaguarDrive Selector™ to release the parking brake as the car drives away. The driver can also choose to operate the parking brake manually.
Intelligent Stop/Start Technology: Less idling, more economy.
XF Sportbrake cars powered by the innovative 2.2 Litre engine features Intelligent Stop/Start technology which reduces consumption and emissions produced while idling in traffic. The system detects when the engine is not needed and cuts it off. As soon as the brake pedal is released the engine bursts into life, fully operational, before the driver's foot reaches the accelerator. As well as reducing CO2 emissions, the system can deliver 5–7 percent better fuel efficiency, depending on conditions.
Jaguar Sequential Shift: Change and engage.
XF Sportbrake 8-speed automatic transmission constantly adapts to suit driving style for almost imperceptible, faster, smoother gear shifts with the ability to multi-downshift, avoiding any loss of power between changes. If you need greater involvement, paddles behind the steering wheel allow manual gear changes.
Dynamic Stability Control: Stay in control.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) maximises XF Sportbrake’s stability when it detects the wheels slipping. A ‘Trac DSC’ setting can be selected to allow some slipping and overspin before the system intervenes – not only permitting a sportier drive but also essential if driving with snow chains.
Crusi Control with automatic limiter.
Working in tandem with Cruise Control, an Automatic Speed Limiter allows the driver to select a maximum speed that should not be exceeded.
Air Suspension: Gliding with luxury.
XF Sportbrake features self-levelling rear air suspension. More responsive and versatile than conventional suspension, it is self-levelling so XF Sportbrake’s ride height remains constant however great the weight in its loadspace. Air suspension allows the use of passive dampers or, when specified as an option, Adaptive Dynamics’ active dampers.
