New C-X17 showcases Jaguar's crossover concept

The C-X17's bespoke interior marries premium, authentic materials and traditional British craftsmanship with modern finishing techniques. It features a luxurious combination of Jet and Tan leather – made by British premium leather specialists Connolly and Bridge of Weir – on the dash, seats, armrests, floor and in the boot. A classy, subtle layered effect is created through the use of traditionally-inspired Brogue-perforated saddle leather patches on the main leather panels. Ruthenium, milled aluminum and black brushed anodized metal finishes impart a darker tonal effect to the C-X17's interior. The interior door finish is waxed Clay Walnut wood.

A center tunnel running part way down the length of the cabin, from the instrument panel into the rear passenger area just behind the front seats, incorporates the innovative Interactive Surface Console, an interactive multi-passenger infotainment hub with a series of touch screens under a continuous panel of transparent acrylic glass which, in conjunction with the secure in-car Wi-Fi network, enables the vehicle’s passengers to connect and share experiences with each other and the outside world via social media such as Weibo. The C-X17's ultra-premium, 28-loudspeaker in-car digital audio system has been specially designed for the vehicle by British specialist audio firm Meridian, and the car’s centre console is configured for a Head Up Display projector.
