No SUV for Jaguar
Callum says no SUV in the cards for Jaguar, Crossover Model a possibility

Forget about a Jaguar SUV - Design director Ian Callum has knocked that one on the head. However a crossover could be an entirely different story.

“I can categorically say that an SUV as such is out of the question. We have a sister company [Land Rover] that produces the best SUVs in the world," Callum said in an interview with Australian journalist Jez Spinks.

“An SUV is too utilitarian-like for Jaguar," Callum added, "but maybe there are some grey areas in between we could investigate.”

Speculation ran rife a couple of years ago when Adrian Hallmark, the Brand Director for the British luxury-car maker, mentioned that Jaguar needed to "stop being a saloon-based company." Of course, the XF Sportbrake confirmed that statement.

Callum, though, refuses to be drawn on whether he has already designed a crossover, meaning an Audi Allroad competitor could be quite likely.

 

Yeah, Jaguar can stick to making beautiful cars.

 

Good scoop KP, thanks!

 

It would be weird if they would make SUV's, as mentioned in the text; Land Rover is a sister company.

Ian Callum is doing a great job at Jaguar: the XF, XK and XJ are beautiful cars.

 

thank god

 

I hope they don't make the same mistake Bentley made! Their SUV is FUGLY!!!

 

Hi,

Just seems like an opportunistic stab at the lead balloon Bentley just blew up.

Cheers,

Good.

 

Since they are still the company as land Rover (I believe, not sure) it wouldn't make sense to make SUV's from the Jag line since they are already pretty good with the Range rovers. Don't they also share A LOT of components together?
