Our quick take

Jaguar XF Sportbrake 3.0 Diesel S Portfolio - 4.5 / 5

The joy of specs

Don’t call it an estate

Subtle yet smart, like a Jag should be

Drawing room on wheels?

A high speed express, without the fuel consumption

To recap

Handsome, quick, spacious - the XF Sportbrake in 3.0 Diesel S trim is a good demonstration of how the right spec and format can make a car. Well equipped, with some well-resolved design qualities, it’s also good to drive. Only a cabin and interface that are both showing their age let the side down.
