Following its global premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, Jaguar’s C-X17 crossover concept had its Middle East debut this week at the 2013 Dubai International Motor Show.

To mark the occasion, Jaguar painted the study in a lustrous Liquid Aluminium liquid metal finish, which I have to admit, looks at as good, if not better than the C-X17’s original blue paint.

The C-X17’s official purpose in life was to introduce Jaguar’s all-new advanced aluminium architecture, which will underpin a new range of future Jaguars, beginning with a new mid-sized C/D segment sedan in 2015. However, the SUV’s looks hint to a production model, so in order to garner as many reactions as possible, Jaguar took the C-X17 to the Dubai International Motor Show.

The sports crossover also posed for a photo shoot in Dubai and was even offered to a lucky local journalist for a video review.

Scroll down to check out the video (which also includes a short interview with Jaguar design boss Ian Callum) and to see the new photo gallery.
