The automotive world has long since embraced the usefulness of the SUV, but recent upward trends in the price of gasoline have made some people think twice about the bigger mode of transportation. Just last year, Land Rover->ke46 came out with the Evoque crossover that still hones in on the benefits of an SUV, but in a slightly smaller package to give customer's wallets a break. Now the more luxurious Tata offspring - Jaguar->ke39 - is preparing a crossover of their own and this first rendering illustrates the sleek exterior design that will find its way to the market in 2015.

Rumors are suggesting that the future Jaguar SUV will be built on the same platform as the recently launched Range Rover Evoque. It will be an all-wheel-drive model powered by the 240 HP 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder currently residing in the Evoque. The four-cylinder engine will ensure a low fuel consumption and, in the turbocharged version, will deliver enough power to offer great performance numbers. Diesel options may also be available and may include a 2.2-liter four-cylinder producing 187 HP. These engines will be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
