Here are photos of the Jaguar C-XF Concept leaked ahead of it’s unveiling at the upcoming North American International Auto Show, only two weeks away. The concept shown here looks like it has alot of square-ish hardedges unlike previous Jaguar design language which usually consists of smooth curves all round. It’s funny how car design has went from hard edges to smooth edges back to hard edges.
I can see a less busier version of this going into production as the Jaguar XF – it has got to lose those musclecar-like bulges on the hood, less complicated front and rear bumpers, as well as less bling-like alloy wheels.
More photos after the jump.

Errr… Steering no air bag??
Anyway nice car. I always love hard edges car more than soft edges car design.
Quite a radical design change for a conservative brandname like Jaguar. I am quite positive with this new design :) A Jaguar re-born ?
i tot its a skoda
interior look early 70s, and a touch of neon art deco, ..well design evolves,no problem,
but for me , still miss the XJS
looks like lexus born from this, where is the jaguar flavour?, almost it could change the badge any time, …thats my tought only lah..
maybe the road version change the whole perception.
Very nice and aggresive looking car, but somehow I feel that it doesn't have any Jaguar DNA in it's look, it could easily pass for an Aston Martin.
The front design language looks like it has been scooped out from Seat. I wonder if the actual release will looks much like the concept, the roofline looks too low especially on the C-pillar. If this is the true S-type replacement, that wouldn't be so practical.
In terms of design, this car is a true CLS beater. Better looking from almost every angle.
its like this car is trying to be sting bt cant get it rite..a new meaning to ultra confusion…design is all over the place..i prefere the current design atleast it has its own identity…i get the feeling it looks more 'american' than british….whihc is a bad ting!
I thought the ford mondeo concept look a lot like this…
lol.. hmm.. looks really muscular to be too much of a jag nowadays..
cuz we all don't have the perception that jags are fast, muscular, "get-outta-my-way" type of cars..
a lil aston martin-ish for me.. but still.. as borat likes to say.. 'i likee'
=D
Guess the aston martin designer played a part in the development of this 1 too..
s i know , this jag was share a same plate form whit aston martin.
we love it!.
it looks more muscle than elegance. more bling than sophistication. at least it looks a darn side much better than the puckered S-type.
i wud like to argue tho that the grill seriously don't scream 'jaguar' the rest of the car's cool, keepin things updated and modernised, but they shud balance it wif their heritage… cos it's looking very aston martin and seat now… the previous s-type was a thing of beauty :)
a jaguar i would seriously like to have!!!
does anyone really know what is the jaguar DNA?
IOSIS… :D Hahaha…this is lovely!
an aston martin with different housing… :p both aston n jaguar got designers with the same kind of styling (proved by top gear)
