Jaguar C-X17 gets liquid metal finish for Dubai show [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Nov 2013

We thought the C-X17 concept looked pretty good when Jaguar unveiled it in Frankfurt a couple of months ago. But that shade of blue, while nice enough, made it look like it shared more than a similar name with the Mazda CX-7. No, what a Jaguar needs is a more luxurious paint job than electric blue. And that's just what the British automaker has given its crossover concept in time for the Dubai Motor Show this week.

What we have here is the same C-X17, but repainted in what Jaguar calls "a lustrous Liquid Aluminum liquid metal finish," and we have but to agree. What do you think? Scope it out in the fresh batch of high-res images above and cast your vote in the poll below.

JAGUAR C-X17 SPORTS CROSSOVER CONCEPT DEBUTS AT DUBAI MOTOR SHOW

(MAHWAH, N.J.) - November 5, 2013 - Jaguar's acclaimed C-X17 sports crossover concept vehicle has premiered at the Dubai International Motor Show 2013.

The C-X17 has been created as a design study to introduce Jaguar's all-new advanced aluminum architecture, on which an exciting new range of future Jaguars will be built, beginning with a new mid-sized C/D segment sedan in 2015.

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.

A new selection of images of the C-X17, in a lustrous Liquid Aluminum liquid metal finish, is now available for download. All assets are also available at c-x17media.jaguar.com
