The Jaguar XE was crowned Best Compact Executive at the annual Auto Express Awards at a ceremony in London recently, while the all-new Jaguar XF picked up the Design Award.
Auto Express editor-in-chief Steve Fowler said: “There are few sectors as competitive as the compact executive class so it’s testament to Jaguar that its new XE wins the Auto Express Best Compact Executive Award for 2015. It’s beaten multi-award winning rivals to take the title, impressing us with its sense of occasion, its efficiency, its technology and the fact that it’s just great fun to drive. It’s a compact exec without compromises.”
The Jaguar XE arrived at retailers in June and has already amassed an impressive collection of gongs including Car of the Year and Best Business Car at the Telegraph Awards, Best New Car at the
Fleet World Awards and Best Large Car at the Diesel Car Magazine Awards.
The XF also had a successful evening, winning the Design Award following a poll of Auto Express readers. Arriving at retailers soon, its makers claim it will offer unrivalled refinement and dynamics, as well as the lowest CO2 emissions of any non-hybrid model in its segment.
Both awards were collected by Ian Callum, Jaguar director of design, who said: “It’s been an incredible evening for Jaguar. With XE, our aim was always to do more than just compete with the established segment leaders – we wanted XE to move the game on, to be the best. Winning Best Compact Executive shows that’s exactly what we’ve done.”
