最近谍照记者在德国纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在测试的捷豹XF Sportbrake。虽然这款车进行了伪装，但仍然一眼就可以辨认出来这是一辆XF车型，但它的轮圈则来自F-Type。车身虽然看去清楚，但其造型似乎更多的借鉴了上代车型。几乎于明年上市的新一代XF Sportbrake后排行李箱储物容积铁定将超过现行版的550立升，而后排椅背放平后的储物容积也将超过目前的1675立升。该车还将搭载一系列新引擎。预计新车将搭载更省油的2.0升四缸汽油和柴油引擎，而非目前的2.2升四缸引擎。更高端版本还将搭载3.0升V6机械增压引擎，功率达到283千瓦/380马力。而顶级款将搭载5.0升V8引擎，功率410千瓦/550马力。新一代XF Sportbrake将在明年的日内瓦或法兰克福车展亮相，随后将作为2018款车型于明年底上市。目前还不清楚新车价格。

Jaguar XF Sportbrake spied showing off its assets
Spied testing on the Nurburgring in Germany, the new XF Sportbrake is seen here showing off some of its best assets. The front is immediately distinguishable as an XF — even under all that camo — as are the wheels, which look to be borrowed from an F-Type. The rear, while hard to make out clearly, looks to have carried over most of the same lines from the previous generation.

On schedule for a 2017 launch, the new XF Sportbrake will undoubtedly improve upon the 19 cubic-feet (550 liters) of space available in the outgoing generation with the rear seats in place, and 59 cubic-feet (1,675 liters) of space available with the seats folded down. You'll also be able to find a range of new engine options under the hood.

Expected to downsize from the 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine currently available, the new XF Sportbrake will opt for a more efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, available in both gasoline and diesel. Move up from there, and a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 is expected to produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 380 horsepower (283 kilowatts). And at the top of the range, an available 5.0-liter V8 will have as much as 550 horsepower (410 kilowatts) on tap, if not more.

The new XF Sportbrake will make its world debut next year, either at the Geneva Motor Show in March, or Frankfurt Motor Show in September, before it goes on sale late in 2017 for the 2018 model year. No word on pricing or market availability just yet.
