Jaguar XE

The Jaguar XE (codename X760) is a forthcoming model range announced by the British car manufacturer Jaguar at the March 2014 Geneva Motor Show, with sales scheduled for 2015.

The XE will be the first compact executive Jaguar since the 2009 model year X-Type and will be the first of several Jaguar models to be built using Jaguar's new modular aluminium architecture, moving the company away from the Ford derived platforms that were used in the past for the X-Type and XF. The use of Jaguar's own platform will allow the XE to feature either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations, and it will become the first car in its segment with an aluminium monocoque structure.

The XE launched as a four door saloon, but estate and coupé variants will follow during 2015 and 2016.
