We mentioned a couple months ago that Jaguar was planning on building their very own SUV, one not based on a Land Rover but instead a fresh crossover all Jaguar’s own. Well, it seems like we’ll be catching a glimpse of it sooner rather than later. Jaguar announced today they’ll be unveiling a concept car called the C-X17 on September 9th, and judging by the shadowy silhouette we see in their announcement, it looks like a concept car version of that very SUV.
While we’d hoped, based on the name, that the C-X17 might be a supercar successor to the awe-inspiring C-X16, we’ll be pretty happy if it turns out to be a tight little crossover sport-ute—especially if it looks as hot as we’d expect a new Jaguar to be. Going by this pic, that seems pretty likely. Dope. [via Jaguar]
