Jaguar has detailed the XF R-Sport that will debut at next week’s Geneva Motor Show. Aimed primarily at fleet operators, the XF R-Sport and its Sportbrake-badged station wagon counterpart are designed to provide buyers with a seamless blend of sportiness and efficiency.
The XF R-Sport stands out from the regular XF thanks to model-specific side skirts, a sportier front bumper, a bespoke rear spoiler and 17-inch alloy wheels mounted on low-profile tires. R-Sport badges all around wrap up the exterior updates.
An optional appearance package adds gloss black trim around the radiator grille, on the lower bumper inserts and on the trunk lid. Sportbrake models fitted with the appearance package gain gloss black roof rails.
All XF R-Sport models feature a charcoal interior with a choice of three different stitching colors. Buyers can choose whether they want Dark Oak, Piano Black or Carbon Fiber trim on the dashboard, the door panels and the center console.
Power comes from a 2.2-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that sends 163 horsepower to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. A standard start/stop system lowers fuel consumption to 48 mpg in a mixed European cycle.
After debuting in Geneva, the Jaguar XF R-Sport and R-Sport Sportbrake will go on sale in the United Kingdom next spring. Pricing information will be published closer to the cars’ on-sale date.
