Jaguar Land Rover is set to unveil the all-new Jaguar XE in London on September 8. With this, the luxury car maker will redefine the concept of the sports saloon – a segment that Jaguar created over 50 years ago with models like the Mark II - and bring in a new family of Ingenium engines – all designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK.

The new car that will, in time, also be introduced in India, will take on models like the Mercedes C-Class and the Audi A3 amongst others.

The features of the Jaguar XE include aluminium-intensive architecture, Integral Link suspension, and a front suspension based on its F-Type sports car.

Mike Cross, Chief Engineer of Vehicle Integrity, said: “The XE is the culmination of everything the company has learned over the years. The Integral Link rear suspension provides a combination of supple ride and crisp handling that is unmatched in this segment. We are on target to deliver a vehicle that dynamically outperforms our rivals.”

Many components of the Integral Link suspension have been forged or hollow-cast in aluminium.
