Jaguar SUV (C-X17) gets a new paint job & 5 seats: Guangzhou Motor Show

But the China C-X17 actually goes a bit further than that by taking the C-X17′s four-seat configuration and adding an extra shaped seat in the back for a proper five-seat layout. There’s also some added luxury in the form of wood veneer door panels.
