Jaguar C‑X17 Concept
Jaguar's acclaimed C‑X17 sports crossover concept vehicle premiered at the Dubai International Motor Show in 2013.

The C‑X17 concept is one example of the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using the modular, scalable new architecture. As a sports crossover, it combines the character and driving experience of a sports car with increased presence and flexibility ‑ all imbued with the sleek lines and luxurious sophistication Jaguar is renowned for.
