Jaguar’s design director Ian Callum said: “This is the first time Jaguar has won this highly respected Autocar award for a production car.”
Autocar editor Chas Hallett noted: “What most impressed the judging panel is Jaguar’s success in producing a car that looks elegant, graceful and ‘Jaguar-like’.” He believes Jaguar founder, the late Sir William Lyons, ”would thoroughly have approved” the new car.
The XF was launched at the Frankfurt motor show last September and is on sale next March.
Other magazine awards for the XF include ‘most exciting car to be launched in 2007’ from What Car? Readers poll and ‘interior of the year award 2007’ from Car.
