Jaguar C-XF

The Jaguar C-XF (Concept-XF) is a concept car which indicates a new design direction for Jaguar cars. To be revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan the C-XF concept is a preview of the XF.

The previous generations of Jaguar cars were notably "retro" in design, being heavily influenced by styling cues from classic Jaguars from the 1960's. The C-XF represents a departure from that design strategy. Although the C-XF has four doors, its shape is very much that of a coupé, following a design trend started by the already super-successful Mercedes-Benz CLS. Jaguar knows this approach will limit the potential market for the car — but that’s all part of the plan. The latest thinking within Jaguar is that its current woes are down to an overly ambitious, poorly conceived and executed plan to turn Jaguar into a large-volume rival for BMW, Mercedes and Audi. So now, instead of building 1m cars a year, it will deliberately aim to construct less than a tenth of that number, turning Jaguar into an exclusive, low-volume manufacturer of high-quality premium sporting cars.
