On the prowl for all-new sales, Jaguar must be eager to get some all-new cars to the market. Over the years we've seen the legendary company's sales slow down significantly. Hopefully these all-new vehicles help give it a much-needed shot in the arm.
While we await the launch of the all-new XE sedan, it seems Jaguar has started developing its all-new XF. This is welcome news as that vehicle has gotten stale in a big way. Personally, I wasn't too smitten with it from the start but it was a vast improvement over the S-Type.
As you check out the spy pics, make sure to spend some time looking at its side profile, especially around the C-Pillar. From what I can make out, it appears that the C-Pillar will emulate the XJ instead of having a Hofmeister Kink inspired from BMW. This would be a welcome change as the company seeks to find its own identity.
Also note that this vehicle appears to have grown in size when compared to the current-gen XF. If you ask me, I wager the all-new XE will be quite close in size to the current XF and we'll see the XF grow a few inches longer and maybe an inch or two wider. If you've ever been in the backseat of an XF, you'd know that this will be welcome.

We compared profile pictures of and an XE prototype and this, shot in an identical location a year apart, and the difference in size is immediately obvious. Whereas the XE has an extremely short rear overhang, to keep its dimensions compact and proportions sporty, the XF is much longer at the back with a shallower rear windscreen angle and larger rear window...
