Jaguar 'J-Pace' ?
Jaguar testing a larger crossover to challenge Audi, BMW, and Mercedes
Source
The new Jaguar F-Pace is only now hitting dealerships, but the British automaker is already testing a bigger, higher-end example. Allegedly named J-Pace – tying it to the flagship XJ sedan the same way the F-Pace is to the XF (so expect an E-Pace before too long) – Jaguar's engineers stretched the wheelbase and cobbled together a big CUV from an F-Pace's body parts.
The biggest giveaway is on the rear door's cutline. A normal F-Pace's shut line runs right into the middle of the rear wheel arch. But on this mule, the door closes well forward of the arch. Outside the axles, Jag has stretched the front overhang – it's far more prominent with a completely different lower intake – and the super-short rear overhang reinforces the idea that we're seeing a longer platform.

that's no big suv. That's smaller than the F pace.
look at the short dash axle distance and small ***.
All they did was take an F-pace and move the whole cabin forward a few inches. Even the rear door is the exact same size and shape as the F-pace's, just moved forward.
