Next generation Jaguar XK aims luxurious, upscale design

Jaguar's Design Director Ian Callum has spoken about the next generation XK sportscar, and revealed that the model "could grow into the luxury market".

The launch of the F-Type will allow the automaker to make the next XK more of a luxury GT, while the F-Type sits as a dedicated sportscar. Ian Callum recognised the chance to "allow the car to become a bit more special than a GT" and admitted that there is possibility of a growth in size too.

While the next XK will probably adopt a new strategy, the elegant XJ will most likely remain the same four-door luxury model. 

Although Callum did not mention anything about a big Jaguar SUV/crossover in the lineup, he did affirm that the company "has to take notice" of the latest trend in the sports utility segment.
