Whitley, Coventry ‑ 9th January 2017 – The Jaguar F‑PACE has been named ‘Best Large Crossover’ in the UK Car of the Year Awards 2017. It will now feature in the final shortlist for the overall UK Car of the Year Award which will be announced in February.
The UK Car of the Year judging panel is made up of 27 of the UK’s leading motoring journalists, with representatives from publications including Top Gear, Auto Express, Autocar and Car.
The judges praised Jaguar’s first SUV, and its best‑selling vehicle ever, for its ‘show‑stopping’ looks, agile handling, and best‑in‑class residual values. It’s all thanks to the F‑PACE’s Aluminium Lightweight Architecture, which creates a light, stiff body structure, allowing for great performance and emissions across the range.
Jaguar has arrived in the crossover market and set a new benchmark. The F‑PACE is imposing and impressive in equal measure and offers an almost luxury‑level interior. A joy to drive and to spend time in.
John Challen
Managing Director of UK Car of the Year
This latest recognition caps an impressive first 10 months for Jaguar’s first SUV, which has already received more than 25 major global awards. With more than 46,000 F‑PACE models bought throughout the globe since April, it’s also Jaguar’s fastest‑selling model ever.
We are delighted that the F‑PACE has been recognised by the UK Car of the Year judges. These experts will have driven almost every car on sale, so for them to name F‑PACE the best in its sector just caps off what has been an incredible first 10 months for this car. It is capturing the attention of our customers the world over, gaining critical acclaim, and already becoming the fastest‑selling Jaguar ever.
