The smaller version of the Jaguar`s lineup, the XE, has just been caught on the act while being ready for tests at the Nurburgring playgrounds.

There have been a lot of rumors with an upcoming entry-level Jaguar, but it was only these days that we had actually managed to find out that the model would be the future XE.

It seems that the Jaguar is preparing this new XE type, to be able to cope with the automaker`s top predators like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Audi A4 or the BMW 3-Series.

The fresh new out of the factory Jaguar XE, codenamed X760, can be seen as the successor of the X-Type, coming with a whole new performance engine lineup for other future models as well.

The upcoming Jaguar XE will be perhaps publicly displayed this summer, with the sportscar hitting showrooms somewhere in 2015.

So far, there are no other particular details to be rendered about the Jaguar XE, but expect more info soon enough.
