Jaguar XJ wins top tow award

Thursday, 03 July 2008

JAGUAR has claimed the 2008 Towcar Award for the XJ 2.7 litre Diesel in the 1725-1899kg category. The award was presented by What Car?, Practical Caravan and The Camping and Caravanning Club in the UK.
Cars were put through their paces for their towing ability and a host of other qualities including driving performance when not towing, practicality, value for money and safety.
The judging panel comprising industry experts, motoring journalists and caravanning enthusiasts said they were particularly impressed with the way that the XJ performed.
Geoff Cousins of Jaguar welcomed the award.
"What this award does is demonstrate the breadth of capability of the XJ,” he said.
“It is already renowned for its all-aluminium body construction, state-of-the-art technologies and outstanding craftsmanship and build quality.
I am delighted we have won this award; it really demonstrates the diverse appeal of the XJ."
This is the latest in a number of awards for Jaguar's flagship model.
Most recently, the XJ 2.7 litre Diesel was named Britain's greenest luxury car in the Environmental Transport Association's 2008 Car Buyers Guide.
Earlier in the year, the XJ Long Wheelbase was voted 'Chauffeur Car of the Year' by Chauffeur Magazine, while What Car? Auto Trader and Auto Express all voted the XJ 'Best Luxury Car' in their various used car awards towards the end of last year.
