Not long after confirming it for production and a couple test mules being spotted, Jaguar has finally released the first teaser image of its upcoming SUV. However, the car pictured is not a production ready SUV and instead the Jaguar C-X17 Concept set for a world debut at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show 2013 later this month.
What’s immediately apparent from this darkened teaser image is that the taillights of the Jaguar C-X17 Concept will be heavily inspired by the Jaguar F-Type sports car. So obviously, the Jaguar XF taillights used on the prototypes weren’t the real deal.
Next, the Jaguar C-X17 Concept clearly has a low-slung roof with a tiny rear window and a small spoiler above the rear window. In fact, it has a similar profile to the Range Rover Evoque which the Jaguar SUV is expected to compete with.
Based on the similarities between the Jaguar C-X16 Concept and the production-ready Jaguar F-Type (which are almost identical with the exception of the fixed roof of the C-X16), we expect the production ready Jaguar SUV to look almost identical to this prototype. And from what we can see, that certainly wouldn’t be a bad thing!
It’s not yet known what the Jaguar C-X17 Concept will be called when it hits the production line, but it could be dubbed the Jaguar XQ.
