Jaguar used the Geneva Motor Show to confirm its all-new mid-size sports sedan will be called the XE. Expect to see the all-new Jaguar XE in production form before the end of the year.
It will be the first production Jaguar to use the advanced aluminium chassis architecture shown in the C-X17 concept car at last year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.
And Jaguar says the XE will be the first car in its segment with an aluminium monocoque.
Continuing the firsts, the Jaguar XE will be the first Jaguar to employ the all-new ‘Ingenium’ family of four-cylinder, 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines to be made at Jaguar Land Rover’s new UK engine manufacturing facility.
Jaguar says the XE will be sold in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive and the range-topper will boast a top speed in excess of 300km/h.
Sales are expected to start in mid-2015.
