British luxury carmaker Jaguar is set to commence the production of an all-new mid-size sports sedan, the Jaguar XE.
Jaguar XE will include the new advanced aluminum architecture that the company unveiled in the C-X17 concept car in 2013.
With global rollout planned for 2015, the new sedan will be the company's first aluminum monocoque vehicle in the segment.
Jaguar Land Rover chief executive officer Ralf Speth said that they announced that their new Engine Manufacturing Centre would produce a new family of premium, lightweight, low-friction, low emission four-cylinder petrol and diesel units.
"The first of our Ingenium engine range will be used in our all-new mid-sized Jaguar sports sedan. That car will be called the Jaguar XE, and it will be unveiled in production form later this year," Speth added.
The new engines are capable of producing top speeds of over 300km/h, and emissions lower than 100g of CO2 per km.
