The Tata-owned manufacturer has just recorded the names Q-Type Jaguar and XQ in the European Union, as published by Carscoop. This could indicate two things: one, that the brand has decided to take over in case names, and other than the first Jaguar SUV could be on the way. For now, the brand has denied it is developing an SUV.

According to this information, could take advantage of Jaguar Land Rover offroad experience when launch its first SUV. Thus, the new SUV could be based on the successful Range Rover Evoque, with which engines share.
As you can see in this teaser, the British firm could land in the SUV market with a burly looking creature AWD. Logic suggests that the Jaguar SUV measures try to trace the three of the SUVs 'premium' most successful: the BMW X5, Mercedes
ML, or even the Volkswagen Touareg (compare BMW X5, Mercedes ML and Volkswagen Touareg). But the thinking minds of the British brand could choose to 'sneak' this new SUV in the gap-at least from his

point of view-among compact SUVs and big guys I mentioned in the previous lines, ie some 4.7 meters long.
Of course, the Jaguar SUV platform alone will not be developed due to the high costs that would entail. One should look for synergies. To make the project feasible you must read the following acronym: lightweight PLA or 'premium'. This term refers to a new lightweight modular matrix that share several models of Jaguar, much like what he did in his day Audi with

MLP or modular longitudinal platform, which extended from tourism as the Audi A4, Audi Q7 to almighty .
Regarding the design of the new Jaguar SUV, the charge would be, of course, Ian Callum, which counts among its creations with the XK, XF and XJ. Among its main stylistic features will be a bonnet, and a generously sized rear coupe style fall providing dynamism to the whole, adding, of course, a touch of elegance typical of the brand models. In this sense, the Jaguar XK lines are present in both the front and rear.
The interior will accommodate up to five passengers, although there is probably a choice of two individual

seats in the rear seats to satisfy the most demanding customers. Jaguar also consider the possibility of offering a longer version of this model with capacity for a third row of seats.
For the mechanical new model will inherit some of the existing mechanical group as the 2.0 turbo petrol with 240 hp fitted to the Evoque and three liters turbodiesel with outputs of 211 and 256 hp, which equips the Range Rover Sport . Both engines will be associated to an eight-speed automatic transmission signed by ZF.
In principle, the Jaguar SUV ride wheel drive system similar to that used by the Range Rover Sport, through center differential, but there is also the possibility of going to an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch riding the Evoque and Freelander. Everything depends on the final weight of the whole. What is clear is that this model is clearly focused on the road, so you can go and forgetting and reducing differential locks. Air suspension?? Since it is aimed at use 'offroad' will opt for a self-leveling rear suspension.
In 2014 you could give the go-ahead to this new adventure of Jaguar. Then we'll see if he can gain a foothold.
