Jaguar XF wins prestigious Diesel Award
April 19, 2008 |
Great Britain has had a long love affair with diesel powered cars and their high mpg characteristics for only marginal increases in fuel price. In the UK the What Diesel journal Car of the Year Award is therefore a much more prestigious title than its name suggests. This year the Jaguar XF sedan came out on top, in the eyes of the What Diesel judges, to take the most prestigious ‘executive diesel’ spot in the run down of awards.
The other winners in this years list, as voted by industry specialists and journalists:
Fiat 500 (best small car)
Nissan Qashqai (best medium family car)
Ford Mondeo (best large family car)
Jaguar XF (best executive car)
Kia Cee’d SW (best estate car / station wagon)
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso (best MPV)
Land Rover Freelander 2 (best 4×4 / SUV)
Nissan Navara (best pick-up truck)
Audi A5 (best coupe)
Volkswagen Eos (best convertible)
The luxurious jag boasts top trim levels and specification in its bracket and good performance with a top speed of 140mph+ and 0-60 in just over 8 seconds. Not bad for a Diesel that only puts out 199g/km CO2 from a roaring 2.7 litre V6. The Jaguar XF has plenty of style, economy in its fuel consumption, environmental accountability and no sacrifice in luxury - no wonder its the top executive choice.
