Jaguar’s new small saloon:

Jaguar has confirmed that it is working on a new small saloon that will be placed a segment below the XF.

According to company insiders, the new car will be slightly smaller than the current XF saloon, yet big enough to accommodate five adults. There is no news yet on whether the car will be built around an aluminum platform. However, the replacement for the XF will almost certainly be made from aluminum, will grow in size and will move slightly further up market.

An all-wheel drive version of the XJ saloon has also been confirmed and is currently under development. It will be launched in under 24 months time, possibly coinciding with a mild makeover for jauguar’s flagship saloon.

These new projects are part of jaguar’s move to finally have a presence in some of the most important premium market niches. Indeed, the launch of the four-cylinder diesel XF saloon will hugely improve the car’s prospects in markets where sales of the four cylinder diesel models nearly add up to 50 percent.

In the next few days jaguar will launch a 3.0-litre petrol V6 version of the XJ in the booming Chinese market. It’s yet to be seen if this car makes it to india.
