Jaguar to launch two crossovers by 2020?

Tentatively called J-Pace, one of Jaguar\'s upcoming off-roaders will take on the upcoming BMW X7.

Jaguar is in the final stages of developing the controversial F-Pace, its first-ever crossover, and a new report finds the automaker has decided to launch two additional off-roaders by the year 2020.

The British automaker will take on the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class (which will replace the GL-Class in the next few years) and the BMW X7 with a full-size seven-seater crossover tentatively called J-Pace. The J-Pace will ride on the same aluminum-intensive platform as the Land Rover Range Rover but it will feature a much sportier silhouette. Like Land Rover, Jaguar will off both short- and long-wheelbase variants of its full-size model.

The J-Pace will be available with six- and eight-cylinder gasoline-burning engines, and buyers in Europe will most likely have access to at least one turbodiesel unit. Automobile Magazine reports Jaguar will also launch a plug-in hybrid model aimed largely at the Chinese market - where gasoline-electric drivetrains are expected to become mandatory - and a sport-focused version tuned by SVR.
