SUV sales are increasing around the world and luxury car makers are also giving lots of importance for crossovers and SUVs. The recent launches like Lamborghini Huracan and Bentley Bentaya are the examples that premium customers are also turning away from traditional sedan models to SUVs. Jaguar recently filed a global trademark for J-Pace.
This suggests that the company is planning to launch a new full size luxury SUV. Jaguar first SUV was F-Pace which is doing decent numbers around the world.
