Telematics system and new aluminum architecture shows in Jaguar C-X17 Crossover



Jaguar Land Rover are clearly on a mission to add finer technology in their future cars, with the company showing off a new telematics and entertainment system as well as an all new aluminum monocoque architecture.
“The C-X17 sports crossover represents an exciting new direction for Jaguar. Its purpose is to highlight our all-new aluminium architecture. With this technical foundation, we will dramatically expand Jaguar's product offering, market potential and customer appeal. This new philosophy will bring technology from our luxury products into an accessible price segment, and when combined with our new ultra-efficient engines, we will set a global standard. Add to these rational values, the class-leading dynamics, and the beauty and purity of form that Jaguar is renowned for, and we have the formula for a monumental leap forward.”, said Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar.
The C-X17 itself is 4,718mm long, 1,649mm tall and has 213mm ground clearance. The pillar design will offer what Jaguar Land Rover calls as the “elliptical panoramic view ”.
The system is called InControl, and has been developed in partnership with Bosch. The system is compatible with Android and iOS devices. While the company hasn’t shared too many details yet, Jaguar Land Rover says that “the Interactive Surface Console connects those in the rear cabin with the driver and front seat passengers via a secure in-car Wi-Fi network.”
