Reports suggests that Jaguar Land Rover has been sandbagging everyone as it has been testing the Jaguar J-Pace, a larger version of the F-Pace with a masked body of Range Rover Evoque long-wheelbase. When they spotted this test mule, they did notice a lot of things that did look out of proportion for the Range Rover Evoque.

To begin with as one will observe the hood and the wheel axles, they are certainly a lot wider than they look and even the front bumper is narrower than the hood. At the rear, the back of the Evoque should be expanded to house the wheels of the rear axle by a prominent wheel arches. Another thing to consider is how stands the mouth of the fuel tank, in one of the images shows that matches the width of the wheels. Then even the front grille isn’t this big on the Land Rovers, so again it isn’t a Land Rover and more of a Jaguar.

Buddies,

The all new Jaguar's J-Pace SUV has been spied.

While we know the wheelbase is longer than the normal F-Pace, the platform underpinning this mule could go one of three ways. First, in what would probably be the most cost-effective route, Jaguar could simply stretch the chassis underpinning the F-Pace. Second, Jag could mine the Land Rover parts bin for a fullsize platform, perhaps from the Range Rover. It's not a crazy idea, and would open the J-Pace to a more potent line of powertrains – hello 5.0-liter, supercharged V8. Finally, the J-Pace could borrow its platform from the XJ sedan.
