There is time — there is no time. Jaguar does not have enough time to produce its crossover by 2015. That is why, according to auto.vesti.ru, the premiere will arrive only in 2016. Meanwhile, Jaguar continues the tests of its new platform which will be shared both by the crossover and the XE sedan.
What we know for sure is that the new Jaguar will be fitted with four-cylinder petrol or diesel engines from the new Ingenium range together with the nine-speed automatic transmission. Some say that the new car cannot be named other than the Jaguar XQ. The overall length of the Jaguar crossover, which is based on the C-X17 concept platform, is going to be 4,700 mm.
Jaguar is targeting the young people with active lifestyles who always have lots of things to do. Moreover, they anticipate a lot of women drivers to be among their customers. The all-new crossover is expected to compete against the Porsche Macan and a lighter rear-wheel drive platform should be of assistance here.
