JAGUAR I-PACE WINS UNPRECEDENTED TREBLE AT 2019 WORLD CAR AWARDS
I‑PACE is the first model ever to win three World Car titles in the 15‑year history of the awards.
This latest win for the I‑PACE, awarded at the New York International Auto Show by a panel of 86 motoring journalists from 24 countries, comes just weeks after it claimed the European Car of Year title, and affirms its status as the most desirable premium electric vehicle (EV) in the world.
It is an honour that the Jaguar I‑PACE has received these three accolades from the prestigious World Car jurors. We started with an ideal, to move towards our Destination Zero vision; zero emissions, zero accidents and zero congestion. I‑PACE is our first step to achieving this, and it was conceived when EVs were little more than a niche choice. So we started from a clean sheet of paper to create a new benchmark ‑ the world's best premium electric vehicle, and a true Jaguar driver's car. For I‑PACE to be awarded 2019 World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car gives our first all‑electric vehicle the ultimate recognition it deserves. I would like to thank the team who have created I‑PACE for their passion in making it so outstanding.

Designed and developed in the UK, I‑PACE is attracting new customers to the Jaguar brand, for many of whom it will also be their first EV – to date, over 11,0001 customers in more than 60 countries worldwide have taken delivery. Its combination of sports car performance, zero emissions, exceptional refinement and true SUV practicality make I‑PACE the stand‑out choice in its segment

Designing Jaguar cars is probably the best job in the world, and I can honestly say that no other project I’ve worked on has been as rewarding as I‑PACE. Electric vehicles offer designers unprecedented freedom to rethink the proportions, the profile and the packaging, and it’s an opportunity that my team has exploited in full. Winning the 2019 World Car Design of the Year award, as well as World Car of the Year and World Green Car, is true recognition for their achievements.
Ian Callum
Jaguar Director of Design
The Jaguar I‑PACE midsize performance SUV is the first battery electric vehicle to be offered by the Jaguar brand. The vehicle’s bold proportions are a direct result of the advanced electric drivetrain and architecture that underpin the vehicle. The cab‑forward profile of the I‑PACE is a natural progression of the well‑established design language of the Jaguar brand and retains key characteristics which make it immediately identifiable as the newest member of the Jaguar brand’s expanding ‘PACE’ family. The spacious interior – enabled by the bespoke electric vehicle architecture – is finished with beautiful premium details and exacting Jaguar craftsmanship.
The I‑PACE underlines the Jaguar brand’s dedication to technological advancement and is the first Jaguar to incorporate the intuitive Jaguar InControl® Touch Pro Duo™ infotainment system. It uses an innovative combination of touchscreens, capacitive sensors and tactile physical controls to operate key functions while reducing visual clutter within the cabin3. This new human‑machine interface (HMI) design features two touchscreens on the center console, designed to reduce driver distraction; separating information and interactive controls logically, while rotary controllers provide an essential physical connection between car and driver3.
