With the popularity of long-wheelbase luxury sedans in the Chinese markets, many automakers have taken to developing country-specific long-wheelbase models. This line-up of long-wheelbase models exclusive in China includes the Mercedes E-class, Audi A6 L and the soon-to-be-revealed new Audi A4 L.
Jaguar is now set to enter the fray with not only its first long-wheelbase XF, but its first sedan to be manufactured by its joint venture in China. The XF L will be built alongside the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery at the company’s Changshu plant that it jointly operates with local automaker Chery Automobile.
Details of the long-wheelbase sedan are yet undisclosed though with a market launch expected in the latter half of the year, the car will make its debut at the upcoming Beijing motor show.
While the XF L is to be a China-specific model, Jaguar will be bringing its standard sibling the, new XF, to India. The car was showcased at the Auto Expo 2016 alongside the Jaguar F-Pace and the all-new XE sedan.
