Personally, I wouldn't be steered towards a posh-roader in lieu of an estate, but that's just me. I don't need a massive estate car - something around the size of what I currently have is fine - so an XF would be too big and the E/F Pace too tall.
Not that I'm in the market for anything, but should the Euromillions come my way, a brand new estate car will be on the cards and it will probably have to be a 3 Series, A4, C Class or Superb. An XF would be a second hand choice (because the old model is better looking) and only then because nothing a bit smaller exists by Jaaaaaag.

Not really, SUVs are a growing segment and Jaguar has decided the sales predictions warrant the E Pace and F Pace so they are represented at the two different size and price points. www.autocar.co.uk/opinion/new-cars/opinion-jaguar-sales-figures-show-suvs-are-futureThe ongoing diesel issues and the relatively poor showing of the E Pace may yet determine this was not the right strategy. For me the E Pace should be what it sounds - some sort of electric or hybrid model. Customers going into a JLR dealership with an XE Estate in mind can be steered in the direction of an XF Estate, for probably not much more money, or an E Pace. The few that would decide that neither option is for them are probably not worth the expense of developing an XE estate. By that logic it wasn't worth developing the XE, either. I think you’re probably right. I don’t suppose JLR would make that investment now. |

.....should the Euromillions come my way, a brand new estate car will be on the cards and it will probably have to be..... a new V60 with one of the "old skool" T5 engines transplanted into it After all, with those millions you could afford to either do it yourself or commission someone to do it for you  |

If I was having a V60, it would be a Polestar!
