It is the second time after a few months we see “little” Jaguar XS, the Jaguar that future will come out towards the European status quo establishment of BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4. Like the previous one, so this time, the small Jag “wears” the body of the XF and tested in the Alps and the Nurburgring.
The X760 as its internal code, probably based on Premium Lightweight Architecture platform of Jaguar and will be equipped with various capacities and provisions turbocharged engines (turbo and compressor). The same platform will probably be used as the basis for a new four-wheel drive, a luxury crossover (Q-Type) that will occur after XS, after 2015.
It is obvious that Jaguar wants to exploit the momentum that gave her the huge success of the F-Type as fast as possible and it is reasonable and expected. Just do not make hasty moves and pull out a car that does not meet market expectations because this segment is terribly competitive in previous efforts has not come out well.
