Jaguar I-PACE Wins European Car of the Year 2019 Award
Monday 4 March 2019, Geneva – The all-electric Jaguar I-PACE has been voted ‘Car of
the Year’ at the European Car of the Year Awards 2019. This is the first time a Jaguar has
won the coveted prize.
The European Car of the Year jury comprises 60 motoring journalists from 23 countries, and
the award recognises technical innovation, design, performance, efficiency and value for
money.
Prof. Dr. Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “For our first
electric vehicle to also be the first Jaguar to win European Car of the Year gives us a huge
sense of pride.
“I-PACE was designed and engineered in the UK from a clean sheet of paper. It is the most
technologically advanced battery electric vehicle. It’s a true game-changer. Winning
European Car of the Year is an honour and real recognition of what our world-class team
has delivered.”
Designed and developed in the UK, the Jaguar I-PACE has had profound sales success
globally, with more than 8,000 customer deliveries to date – 75 per cent of them in Europe*.
Nothing else on the road looks or drives like the I-PACE. It is engineered to take full
advantage of its electric powertrain and bespoke aluminium architecture, offering sports car
performance and SUV practicality.
Charging is made easy for customers using the Jaguar public charging service, accessed via
a dedicated app or using an RFID key. With tailor-made charging packages and tariffs
compiled into a simple monthly bill, it gives I-PACE customers access to more than
85,000 charging points throughout Europe.
The I-PACE has received 55 awards worldwide since it was revealed a year ago, including
German, Norwegian and UK Car of the Year, BBC TopGear magazine EV of the Year, China
Green Car of the Year, and Autobest’s ECOBEST Award.
