2015 Jaguar XS mule spied up close in Scandinavia

A test mule of the 2015 Jaguar XS has been spied recently while it was being parked in a small garage somewhere in Scandinavia while being parked.

Jaguar’s entry-level sedan is set to come out next year but will supposedly be previewed by a near-production concept at this year’s Paris Motor Show in September. We can clearly see that the car has smaller dimensions by looking at the considerably shorter rear doors but according to Jaguar design director Ian Callum the vehicle’s styling will follow the current design trends of Jaguar.

The Jaguar XS (name yet to be confirmed by the company) will utilize the iQ[Al] platform and will be available with a generous variety of engines, including one version which will enable the baby Jag to hit a top speed in excess of 186 mph (300 kmph). There should also be a frugal variant which will have CO2 emissions of less than 100 g/km.

As per some of the reports, the production model will be introduced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show before going on sale shortly after that. Later on, the XS could spawn coupe and estate derivatives which together with the sedan will allow Jaguar to accelerate its sales.
