Jaguar C-X17 concept – first official image surfaces

jaguar-c-x17-concept-1

And here she is, a few days ahead of the Frankfurt live reveal – a single photo has surfaced of the Jaguar C-X17 concept. Viewed head-on, we’re greeted by the familiar Jaguar corporate face, albeit spiced up by LED detailing in the headlamps and those large air intakes.

The relatively high ride height and scuff-plated front lip leave us in no doubt that it is an SUV/crossover. An earlier teaser released by the Coventry-based carmaker showed a roof spoiler, a swooping shoulder line and tail lamps not unlike those found on the F-Type, but little else. All will be revealed soon.

The Jaguar C-X17 concept introduces a new modular aluminium architecture (reportedly called the Premium Lightweight Architecture, or PLA) that will underpin future products, including, it’s said, the upcoming Jaguar XS compact exec.

Go to Jaguar’s Facebook page on September 9 at 17.10 CET (September 10 at 11.10 am, Malaysian time) to watch the wraps come off live.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    • This Jaguar C-X17 prototype is built to compete with the likes of the upcoming Macan, X3 and the GLK. Both Levante and Falcon is aimed at Cayenne.

        Would it not make more sense to do a c class and 3 series competitor first before a glk and x3 competitor

    5 all new exciting models to come from Jaguar in 5 yrs time.

    first is this mid size SUV. than an all new XF replacement and a baby Jag, to replace X-type and head-to-head competing with 3 series and C class again.

    balance 2 is not so sure… perhaps C-X75 hybird supercar is already for production then.
