The C-X17 has been created as a design study to introduce Jaguar's all-new advanced aluminium 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.
Advanced design, engineering and technology have all played a part in Jaguar Land Rover’s success over the years. The company invests more in research and development than any other manufacturing company in the UK, which has allowed its thousands of world-class engineers to develop world-class innovations. It is these breakthroughs that Jaguar Land Rover can rely on to build better-performing vehicles, lower its environmental impact and inspire customers.
Jaguar Land Rover's technological development is led by world-class designers, engineers and production specialists who ensure that every Jaguar and Land Rover vehicle they create is as innovative as it is desirable. Thanks to the huge investment made across all Jaguar Land Rover facilities in the last decade they have the most advanced tools at their disposal to build cars with cutting-edge technologies.
Virtual engineering – including 3D design rooms and printers – has cut down both the time and expense involved in making new vehicles. The clever use of aluminium has also led to the development of lighter, more eco-friendly cars, while test facilities, such as those provided by the Product Compliance Centre at Solihull, ensure that the range meets and exceeds the required legislative standards from around the world.
Technology is also enhancing the appeal to buyers and not simply by making the cars more desirable. Now, with Jaguar Land Rover's dealership’s Virtual Customer Experience, it is possible to spec a vehicle and have it projected onto a screen at full size, then view it from every angle and interact with it, almost as if it had been delivered to the showroom.
Jaguar Land Rover continues to invest in new technologies, new architectures and new products in order to drive future growth.
