The Jaguar J-Pace, a new range-topping crossover, is reportedly due to hit the market from 2021.
According to Autocar, the company has made trademark filings for the name across the globe.
Although the new crossover will adopt the 'J' moniker in order to align it with the range-topping XJ sedan, under the skin the J-Pace will share its platform and other key components with the full-size Range Rover.
Mark Webber takes the Porsche Mission E for a spin - video
…
After ending his Formula 1 career with Red Bull Racing, Mark Webber made the switch to World Endurance Championship (WEC) racing with Porsche.
He's not competing anymore, but the Porsche partnership isn't over. In a promotional video for the upcoming all-electric Mission E, the Australian racer is let loose on the Weissach test track – with plenty of cameras on hand, naturally – to see what he thinks.
The Volkswagen Passat 206TSI R-Line sedan has been dropped from the line-up, leaving just the wagon with the top-shelf powertrain option.
Speaking with CarAdvice, Volkswagen Australia's public relations and brand experience manager, Kurt McGuinness, confirmed the changes, citing the introduction of the Arteon four-door coupe as the cause.
"The 206TSI Passat sedan has ceased production to reduce model complexity, given the arrival of the Arteon 206TSI," he said.
The New South Wales Police Force has confirmed it will use the BMW 530d as Highway Patrol cars, becoming the second Australian authority to use the German sedan.
"We are honoured by our association with the New South Wales Police Force and delighted that our officers will be driving BMW’s safe, efficient and dynamically superior vehicles," said Marc Werner, BMW Group Australia's CEO.
