Callum Skye EV off-roader interior revealed


Callum, the eponymous firm of veteran Jaguar designer Ian Callum, has revealed the interior of its planned electric off-roader.

The first vehicle to carry the firm’s own brand name, the Callum Skye was announced last November with an eye toward eventual production. Callum followed that up with definitive specifications this past spring and has begun accepting reservations, but is only just now showing what the vehicle’s interior looks like.

The 2+2 interior features metallic trim, including large pieces on the door panels that reflect the similar shapes on the outside of the doors. A central display screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity is included, but the raised center console incorporates physical controls like rotary knobs, and the instrument cluster houses old school round gauges.

Callum remains committed to using sustainable materials—the Skye’s body panels are made from flax—but the interior is trimmed in leather from supplier Bridge of Weir. Designers chose white upholstery to contrast the orange exterior. Cow hide covers the front bucket seats, a removable rear bench seat, and even the glovebox.

The Skye measures just 159 inches long—about the same as a Mini Cooper 4-Door. It’s powered by a 42-kwh battery pack that Callum estimates will deliver 170 miles of range, although it’s unclear what testing cycle that’s based on. The company also expects 0-60 mph acceleration in under 4.0 seconds.

Pricing ranges between 80,000 and 110,000 British pounds, or approximately $101,000 to $138,000 at current exchange rates. Callum plans to offer “dynamic” and “capable” specifications. The latter, which is aimed at more vigorous off-road use, will be revealed in 2025.
