Jaguar's compact sedan to sport its latest scalable aluminium architecture

Finally Jagaur has announced they will be releasing a compact sedan. Jaguar’s new car will make its debut sometime in the year 2015. Its main competitor is BMW 3-Series, one of the world’s bestselling cars. Jaguar certainly has something difficult to attain if they mean to displace the 3-Series from the top.

Jaguar’s new sedan will feature its latest scalable aluminium architecture designed for four wheel drive. Introduced initially in the C-X17 concept at 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, this architecture was actually designed for engines to be placed longitudinally for providing a primary rear wheel drive layout featuring all-wheel drive. Although earlier models of the XF and XJ had four-wheel drive, both the systems were old and thus outdated. The new aluminium architecture gives newer hardware as well as a more advanced version. Jaguar claims that this new architecture is too flexible to be incorporated into their every future model.

Jaguar’s 2015 compact sedan is the first car to be developed using scalable aluminium architecture. The standard model will be Rear wheel drive is standard while four wheel drive option will also be available.

Although news about the new engine has not been disclosed yet, Jaguar has started the construction of a new engine plant in U.K. This plant will be manufacturing a new set of diesel and petrol engines.

The new architecture is said to be designed for taller vehicles, so we can expect to see a jaguar crossover soon. The C-X17 concept featuring the new scalable aluminium architecture for the first time was initially created to gauge the public response. Once it comes into production, it might put up a tough competition for Audis Q5.
