F-Pace voted best and most beautiful in the world
F-Pace saw off the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet and Toyota C-HR in the final three.
The Jaguar F-Pace becomes the 'best' and 'most beautiful' SUV at the 2017 World Car Awards, grabbing the official World Car and World Car Design of the Year titles at the 2017 New York International Auto Show.
The performance SUV, the fastest-selling Jaguar yet, is only the second vehicle to claim the historic double title in the 13-year history of the World Car Awards.
To win its pair of trophies, the F-Pace saw off rivals voted by 75 motoring journalists from 24 countries. The F-Pace triumphed over the Audi Q5 and Volkswagen Tiguan to claim the 2017 World Car of the Year prize.
Best of the best
To win the 2017 World Car Design of the Year prize the F-Pace saw off the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet and Toyota C-HR in the final three.
Dr Ralf Speth, Jaguar Land Rover CEO, said: “Winning this award endorses the talent and great work of our teams that have delivered the world's most practical sports car and Jaguar's fastest-selling vehicle.”
Ian Callum, director of design for Jaguar, said: “The F-Pace is our first SUV but it is clearly recognisable as a Jaguar and for it to win the 2017 World Car of the Year trophy vindicates our decision to bring our unique design principles and dynamic qualities to a new sector of the market.”
“Jaguar has done the unthinkable by first securing the World Car Design of the Year award, then lifting the big one - the overall World Car of the Year trophy,” Mike Rutherford, Juror, Director and Vice-Chairman of the World Car Awards.
“With F-Pace, the British company and its proud and talented workers have taken on and beaten far bigger, wealthier European, Asian and North American rivals.” The F-Pace is Jaguar's first performance SUV and has contributed to record sales growth by attracting new customers to the brand.
Engine options for the F-Pace range from the efficient and innovative four-cylinder 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel, with CO2 emissions as low as 139 g/km to the high-performance 280 kW, supercharged V6 petrol model that can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds.
The last 12 months have seen the launch of three completely new product lines, and successful growth across many of Jaguar's existing products. Sales are still increasing strongly and Jaguar is now Europe's fastest-growing car brand.
