NO new Jaguar XK to take on the Aston Martin DB11
There will be no new Jaguar XK to take on cars like the Aston Martin DB11 and Mercedes S-Class Coupe says Jaguar’s US boss.
But it seems Jaguar has now given up on plans to build a new XK, with America boss Joe Eberhardt telling Car and Driver that there is no longer a place for a car like the XK in Jaguar’s line-up.
It seems Jaguar believe the range-topping F-Type is as expensive as they want to go as they aim to grow sales to catch up with Land Rover’s sales success, and will be concentrating on more affordable cars.
That means a new crossover to join the F-Pace – expected to be the E-Pace – although there are no plans to go any smaller than the new Jaguar XE.
However, despite a decision not to build a new XK, it seems Jaguar is still intent on replacing the XJ with a new model, and we can only hope they finally deliver a range-topping Jaguar XJ Coupe this time round.
