Meant to say earlier, the Jag reinvention doesn't start and end with the Type 01 or hinge entirely on that car's success. They've openly said it won't be biggest selling model because there are others on the way...

The Type 01 was codenamed X900. It looks like it will be followed by projects X901 and X500. Under the usual JLR codename system something that's +1, like 901 to 900, would be a closely related car on same platform. Current Range Rover is L460 and RR Sport is L461, for example.

Conversely, people don't buy saloons so much. They buy SUVs. Maybe X901 is a large SUV. But JLR has Range Rover to do that. So it's a tricky one. Under old Jag plan, LR people were allegedly not happy about X393, the rumoured J-Pace, a large Jag SUV, and kept trying to kill it.

Long after it died in the Jag re-think, this X393 package buck was leaked which gives an idea of what it could have looked like.

Then there's X500. Under JLR codename protocol, a five at the start of the number denotes medium-sized SUV or crossover. I'd guess this will be more crossover than SUV to avoid upsetting Land Rover. But what would it be built on?
