Callum, the eponymous firm of veteran Jaguar designer Ian Callum, has revealed the inside of its planned electric off-roader.
The primary vehicle to hold the firm’s own brand name, the Callum Skye was announced last November with an eye fixed toward eventual production. Callum followed that up with definitive specifications this past spring and has begun accepting reservations, but is just 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 same shapes on the surface of the doors. A central computer screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity is included, however the raised center console incorporates physical controls like rotary knobs, and the instrument cluster houses old style round gauges.
Callum stays committed to using sustainable materials—the Skye’s body panels are constructed from flax—but the inside is trimmed in leather from supplier Bridge of Weir. Designers selected 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—in regards to 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, even though it’s unclear what testing cycle that is based on. The corporate also expects 0-60 mph acceleration in under 4.0 seconds.
Pricing ranges between 80,000 and 110,000 British kilos, or roughly $101,000 to $138,000 at current exchange rates. Callum plans to supply “dynamic” and “capable” specifications. The latter, which is geared toward more vigorous off-road use, shall be revealed in 2025.
