The Jaguar C-X17 Concept has been teased ahead of a reveal at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Jaguar’s preview of a new crossover/SUV based on a new platform.

We’ve been pretty sure for some time that a Jaguar SUV Concept (or, really, a Jaguar Crossover Concept) will arrive at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month. And so it is.
The Crossover Concept has been put together to showcase not just a future SUV type vehicle from Jaguar, but its new advanced modular aluminium architecture which, as Jaguar say, is designed to demonstrate “…the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand.”
As far as we can tell, this new advanced modular aluminium architecture – a development of the platform from the XJ – is already being used in the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and will be flexible enough in its scale to be used to underpin everything from the new small Jaguar to the next generation XF and XJ.
With the tease for the Jaguar C-X17 now in the wild, it won’t be long before we see exactly what Jaguar’s sporty crossover actually looks like.

Fantastic. If they do as good of a job as they did on the F-type then this car will be a success!
Chris says
Jaguar needs to increase its production volumes. It makes less than 100,000 vehicles a year and is a minnow compared to the German competition.
The cross-over model (QT) along with its BMW 3 series competitor (XS), will both share the same platform and will allow Jaguar to increase dramatically the production volume as the Evoque did for Land Rover.
