One of the most eagerly-awaited cars of the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show is definitely theJaguar C-X17 concept, a car that got teased a few days ago and is actually the first five-door crossover from the hstoric British brand. Basically, the C-X17 has been created as a design study to introduce Jaguar’s all-new advanced aluminium monocoque architecture - codenamed iQ[Al] - on which they plan to build a number of future models.
As a sports crossover, the Jaguar C-X17 represents the potential expansion of Jaguar’s portfolio of body styles (see the cool official video right after the jump), though the first product from the new architecture will be a new premium C/D segment sedan that will come out in 2015. Jaguar did not reveal what’s hidden underneath the the hood of the crossover but confirmed the new sedan will actually be offered with a variety of engines.
However, this C-X17 tells us that Jaguar is actually planning to releasee a crossover model, and we can focus on the most significant features it has to show (apart from its flashy Caesium Blue exterior). The design actually shares strong family traits with Jaguar’s current range and comes with plastic body cladding, full LED headlights, J-shaped running lights and frosted-glass foglights, massive 23-inch alloy wheels and F-Type inspired taillights. As for when the eventual production model will hit the markets, that’s anyone’s guess, though it is not bound to happen before 2015. Needless to say, the rest of Jaguar’s range is also being showcased in Frankfurt (as you can see from our exclusive photo-gallery).
