According to World Car Fans: “Set to be launched in 2015, the crossover will reportedly feature an aluminum body that weighs 200-300 kg (441-661 lbs) less than a conventional steel body. Furthermore, previous reports have indicated the model will ride on an aluminum chassis, so it’s easy to see how the Jag could become one of the lightest crossovers on the market.”

“Under the hood, power will be provided by a variety of fuel-efficient engines. Diesel options will likely include a 187 hp 2.2-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V6 with 237 hp and 271 hp. On the petrol side, we can expect a new 3.7-liter V6 or a 237 hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder from the Range Rover Evoque.”

Jaguar’s 2-door entry-level XE Roadster may be making a public appearance in the near future, rumors suggest. The former XK convertible has been redesigned, at least as much as artists renderings of the 2012 XE roadster show. The vehicle has grown in size, it’ still no 4-seater, but a longer chassis and rounder grill give the XE that frightful look other sports cars tremble at.

There’s no word yet on an exact engine size, or if the XE will actually be able to take on its greatest luxury sport competition – the Maserati GranTurismo – we still look forward to a new 2-door Jag. Both models are also expected to ride on an updated version of the XK’s aluminum chassis.
