Jaguar certainly aren’t taking the grief in the motor trade quietly. We told you a few days ago about the forthcoming new Jaguar XJ (which we should see in July) , and now we have news of the next new Jaguar – the Jaguar XF Estate.
Jaguar doesn’t have the best history on estate cars (the X-Type Estate, although a reasonable car – and 4WD – was just a Mondeo with smart clothes) but the Jaguar XF is such a triumph for Jaguar that I’m sure we’ll see the XF Estate taking the fight to the Germans in a big way.
It’s reasonable to expect the standard engines and trim versions to carry over to the Estate, but apparently so will the mighty XFR trim. Which means we will see a Jaguar Estate car which will be able to take on the likes of the M5 Estate, the E63 AMG Estate and the RS6 Estate.
News is that the ‘Concept’ for the Jaguar XF Estate will show at Framkfurt in September, with a full model launch in the Spring of 2010. Now if Jaguar does manage to produce a 4WD version of the XFR Estate, then even the mighty RS6 will be quaking in its boots.

If there ends up being a 4WD XFR Estate I’m afraid you’ll be behind us in the queue!
