Jaguar
is in the final stages of developing the controversial F-Pace, its first-ever
crossover, and a new report finds the automaker has decided to launch two
additional off-roaders by the year 2020. View more details and Photos after the
cut…
The
J-Pace will be available with six- and eight-cylinder gasoline-burning engines,
and buyers in Europe will most likely have access to at least one turbo diesel
unit. Automobile Magazine reports Jaguar will also launch a plug-in hybrid
model aimed largely at the Chinese market - where gasoline-electric drivetrains
are expected to become mandatory - and a sport-focused version tuned by SVR.
At
the other end of the spectrum, Jaguar will introduce an entry-level crossover
called E-Pace that will most likely share its platform with the Evoque and the
new Discovery Sport. Executives are still debating what form the E-Pace will
take - some believe it should take on the BMW X3 and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz
GLC-Class, while others think it should be a smaller model aimed right at the
BMW X1 and the Mercedes GLA.
If the rumors materialize,
the J-Pace will be introduced in 2019 and the E-Pace will follow shortly after.
