Design

  • EXTERIOR

    C-X16 moves the award-winning Jaguar design language on to the next level. The exterior design is startling in its simplicity, defined by three 'heartlines'; the front wing crease, the rear haunches that wrap into the tail and the sweeping roofline.

    The aluminium bodywork is wrapped as closely to chassis as possible. By stretching the main feature lines back from the focal point formed by the grille and pushing the wheels as far into the corners as possible, the car has a taut, poised-for-action stance that is unmistakeably Jaguar.

    The C-X16 also showcases newly established Jaguar styling signatures such as the subtly rounded trapezoidal grille. Inspired by the C-X75 concept car and recognisably related to the current XF and XJ, this is the focal point for the front end of the car, providing instant rear view mirror recognition.

  • INTERIOR

    C-X16's dramatic interior is clearly centred around the driver, and underlines its 'One plus One' layout by deliberately creating as cocooned and cosseting a space as possible. The heart-stirring potential of the car is underlined by the choice of visceral Vermillion Red as the primary colour and trim theme throughout.

    The interior design takes inspiration for elements of its layout from aeronautical ergonomics, such as the joystick-style gearlever and banks of toggle switches that also reference classic racing Jaguars. As a result of this thinking the dashboard has been shrink-wrapped around the driver to provide the best view forward, allowing the car to be placed with absolute precision in corners, aided by the sharp creases on top of the front wings.
