Jaguar surprise - made a hatchback

Jaguar is concerned about the gradual decline in demand for XE and XF models, therefore, according to Autocar, their further production is in question. However, a hybrid sedan may appear on the production line. In addition, the British company plans to release a compact premium hatchback.

“Jaguar needs products that can appeal not only to middle-aged men, but also young people and women”

says brand chief designer Julian Thomson.

“Our values ​​are tailored to customers who need more efficient cars, but at the same time they love the quality of design, luxury and pleasant to drive vehicles. But this is a complex sector. There is a need for large batches, which means expanding factories and expanding the sales network. ”

added on.

There is not much information about the new model. It is assumed that the new hatchback will be based on the RD-6 model, which was seen 17 years ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The length of the car will be 4,5 m.

A few days ago, the British brand reported huge tax waste - £ 422 million ($ 531 million) in the last fiscal year. And March brought an additional loss of 500 million British pounds (629 million dollars) for the past quarter.
