# Jaguar XF Sportbrake Is Dead in the US Because We Can’t Have Wagons Unless You Buy Them

Hey, there American wagon fans. How's it going? Have you actually [bought](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29035/heres-every-wagon-that-you-can-still-buy-new-in-the-united-states>) a new wagon lately? No? Well, then, how do you expect anyone to justify bringing any wagons here?

The United States is losing one more cool, fast luxury wagon in 2021, reports [*Roadshow*](<https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/jaguar-xf-sportbrake-discontinued/?PostType=link&ftag=COS-05-10aaa0b&TheTime=2020-10-05T23%3A07%3A47&UniqueID=95688358-075F-11EB-BC74-69974744363C&ServiceType=twitter>): the Jaguar [XF Sportbrake](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/20932/2018-jaguar-xf-s-sportbrake-awd-review-a-beautiful-bruiser-of-a-brit-wagon-born-into-greatness>).

"We will no longer be offering the XF Sportbrake in the US," a Jaguar spokesperson wrote in an email to *Roadshow*.

It's hard to even feign surprise on this one. I tried, and I think I sprained something in my brain. I then tried finding sales data for the car, which only sort of happened. The XF Sportbrake has been sold in the U.S. market since [2017](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/9641/jaguar-xf-sportbrake-wagon-coming-this-summer>), but the only model-specific U.S. sales figures I could find were on [*GoodCarBadCar*](<https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/jaguar-xf-sportbrake-sales-figures/>) from 2018, where only 99 XF Sportbrakes sold all year. Jaguar sold 30,483 cars in the U.S. that year according to [*CarSalesBase*](<https://carsalesbase.com/us-jaguar/>), making that sub-100 figure for XF Sportbrake sales sting even harder, especially since cars tend to sell better earlier in their life cycle. Either way, I definitely haven't ever seen one on the road, and that's a crying shame because it's a nice-looking wagon.

The good news is that we'll at least still get the regular XF sedan in 2021, which goes on sale in January. The normal three-box XF is getting a [handsome mid-cycle refresh](<https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2021-jaguar-xf-sedan-debut/>) with updated looks, a new infotainment system and more standard equipment. It looks good, but unless you live somewhere else, you can't get the Sportbrake version.

*The 2021 XF. Just think! We could have been getting a wagon version of this!, *Jaguar**

![message-editor%2F1601947469044-2021-jaguar-xf-14.jpg](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/content-b/message-editor/1601947469044-2021-jaguar-xf-14.jpg>)
*Here's the 2021 XF's interior. Why didn't you people buy the wagon? This update looks awesome., *Jaguar**

![message-editor%2F1601947563025-2021-jaguar-xf-33.jpg](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/content-b/message-editor/1601947563025-2021-jaguar-xf-33.jpg>)
*The 2021 XF is one nice-looking car. I can't believe—just kidding, I can—that you didn't buy the outgoing XF wagon., *Jaguar**

So, take heed if you like any of the other wagons sold in the U.S.: Put your money where your mouth is and buy one. As *Roadshow* notes, there's a surprisingly large number of luxo-wagons heading our way lately, from traditional super-wagons like the [Audi RS6 Avant](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/32528/order-only-2021-audi-rs6-avant-super-wagon-will-start-at-110000>) and [Mercedes-AMG E63 S](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/34185/2021-mercedes-amg-e63-s-gets-the-amg-gt-face-and-it-looks-awesome>) to ones focused on out-soft-roading the crossovers like the Mercedes-Benz [E-Class All-Terrain](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/32423/2021-mercedes-benz-e-class-can-now-be-had-as-an-off-road-wagon>) and the Audi A6 Allroad.

Look at all of those other opportunities to buy wagons! If you don't buy them, then automakers will assume we don't want them.
