Five-seat Jaguar C-X17 shown at Guangzhou motor show

Five-seat Jaguar C-X17 shown at Guangzhou motor show 

A brand new five-seater concept version of Jaguar’s C-X17 luxury crossover has made its debut in the Guangzhou motor show.  The revised C-X17, driven by concept revealed in the Frankfurt motor show in September, is developed specifically to the Chinese market, incorporating “a luxurious, spacious and innovative cabin featuring bespoke, top quality interior finishes, ” consistent with Jaguar.  Based upon the company's new iQAl architecture, it sits on 23-inch dark platinum alloy wheels.

The five-seater Jaguar C-X17 concept measures 4718mm long, 1959mm wide and 1649mm high.  Jaguar is not letting on exactly what engine will power this sports crossover concept, but says it’s designed to become powered by a similar V6 unit seen inside the Jaguar F-type. The car maker also again hinted at its new choice of 'Hotfire' efficient four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, expected to launch in 2015 across its models.  Inside, the Jaguar C-X17 concept seats five passengers in “plush, spacious comfort, with the next row of seats sculpted inside a free-standing appearance”.

As using the standard C-X17 concept, the boot is lined with waxed clay walnut wood, incorporating two tanned-leather ‘leisure’ seats that swing up from the boot floor for use once the car is stopped and also the rear hatch opened.  The crossover SUV also features a panoramic glass roof, having a platinum-type material called ruthenium applied on interior panels, making a darker more tonal effect.  The concept is fitted by having an Interactive Surface Console multi-screen infotainment network with built-in wi-fi and also a Rear Exit Detection system to safeguard against approaching blind-spot objects while opening vehicle doors.
