Take a good look at those tasty XFR-S Sportbrake. So they are no longer made. Not on a Jaguar.

Jaguar had been using the XF Sportbrake for a drive in the house. This was the only station in the current range, and for the time being also the last. That says Ian Callum, it’s head of design at Jaguar. Jaguar Land Rover will focus on a market where, however, money is to earn. Which of the SUVS. The F-Pace is the beginning of the new future in the Jaaaag.

How fat the XFR-S Sportbrake also was: there was almost no one who ‘m bought. Not only in the Netherlands, but this was true for all of Europe. It is difficult for a manufacturer to position itself between the established order in a quite saturated market. There were simply too few reasons to be a Sportbrake. So distinctive was the model. In addition, the top model with 550 hp, a reduction of 297 grams of CO2. This translated into a BPM-punishment of thick, 60.000 euros. In addition, you could for that 183.350 euro plenty of other fun toys to buy.

The regular XF Sportbrake made also for lousy sales, and so is the towel in the ring together. The current market is crying out for SUVS, and there will be the British at going to indent. With the XF Sportbrake and the X-type Sportwagon, Jaguar has only two stations in its range. (via Autonews)

UPDATE: Ian Callum says Autonews his statements incorrectly cited. Callum just wanted to make clear that the Jaguar XE is no station, according to the designer, in a tweet
