Jaguar C-X17
Jaguar ended months of speculation at the Frankfurt Motor Show by finally unveiling its C-X17. This new 4x4 is still in concept form, but the production version will be based on all-aluminium underpinnings. The C-X17 is longer than the Range Rover Evoque but shorter than traditional saloons, such as the Ford Mondeo, at 4718mm. Power will be provided by a range of four-cylinder engines known as the Hotfire, which will be made at Jaguar’s new engine factory near Wolverhampton, as well as the V6 found under the bonnet of the F-Type.
