Jaguar designer talks about the new XJ

We have a month to wait for the announcement of the new Jaguar XJ in July, but Jaguar designer Ian Callum has been giving a little insight into the new car and Jaguar has released some ‘teaser’ images.

Ian Callum says: “The car is very modern, and it certainly meets up the expectations of people who understand design with a capital D, I have no doubt about that whatsoever.



And that’s all you get to see until next month!


“It’s a very well crafted car. It’s also a very designer led car so that combination, I think, is quite unique. The lines are beautiful, but we reinterpreted them in quite a different way that actually is right and correct for the twenty-first century – and that is what’s important. A Jaguar should be very beautiful, very clear in its intent, but relevant for its time.

“With this car I really do feel that I’ve taken almost thirty years of learning and put it into something that is very complete for me; and that’s taken a lot of discipline, a lot of pushing; on my part, on my design teams part, and the engineers. But I think we’ve achieved something very special indeed.”
