The widely acclaimed Jaguar XF looks set to have a new big brother, with plans now at an advanced stage for an XF estate version. The car will be shown in concept form at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and is expected to land in showrooms next spring.

It appears that Jaguar wants to claim its share of the executive estate market, currently dominated by the likes of BMW and Audi. Although there is no word on engines and specification, it is thought likely that there will be a 4x4 version.
