Jaguar and Land Rover To Share A Platform
Land Rover will be developing a new aluminium platform together with Jaguar. This new platform will be a base for new SUV’s from both brands that will fill a gap between the Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. Jaguar Land Rover’s new modular aluminum platform, announced recently would form the basis of a new Jaguar sedan due in 2015 that will target the BMW 3-series and 5-series. The carmaker also revealed that the all new Jaguar C-X17 crossover concept will use this platform. This will allow Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) to produce higher volumes and higher contribution margins than any of the carmaker’s variants.
JLR’s product planners expect the L560 which is the new Range Rover model to sell up to 80,000 units. Jaguar Land Rover is making a £1.5-billion investment (EUR1.79 billion) to develop the new platform. The next generation Range Rover will be assembled alongside a production version of the Jaguar crossover concept, the C-X17 on the same platform.
The C-X17 crossover concept displayed at the Frankfurt motor show has a length of 4700mm (185 inches), making it similar in size to the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. This Range Rover should be more enticing thanks to the new lightweight platform and JLR’s new four-cylinder ‘Hotfire’ engines, making the new offering lighter and more efficient than any Land Rover-branded product ever offered.
