Jaguar XJ - named Best Luxury by Scottish Car of the Year judges

The Jaguar XJ is Scotland's 2010 ‘Best Luxury Car’, according to the judges of Scottish Car of the Year awards.

The motoring experts from the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW) tested the Jaguar XJ, which beat the BMW 5 Series GT and the new Audi A8 to win the top Luxury Car prize. John Murdoch, President of the ASMW said: "Today’s breed of luxury cars have to be as impressive to drive as they are to be driven in and no car showcases this better than our 2010 winner, the Jaguar XJ. Celebrating the continuation of a bold new design direction, our choice is magnificent inside and out. Whether it is the standard or long–wheel–base derivative, or powered by a potent mix of wonderful diesel and petrol powertrains, the XJ takes luxury motoring to a new level. It is a worthy winner of the Luxury Car category."

Jaguar UK’s managing director, Geoff Cousins said: "The new Jaguar XJ has brought a bold new approach to the luxury car market in the UK with its distinctive design, generous accommodation and impressive predicted residual values. Our dealers and customers in Scotland are incredibly important to us and I would like to thank the judges of the Scottish Car of the Year for bestowing this prestigious award on the Jaguar XJ."

The Jaguar XJ 3.0 litre Diesel Luxury achieves a combined fuel economy of 40.1mpg yet accelerates from 0–60mph in just 6.0 seconds – remarkable figures for such a luxurious, spacious car. Engines include the 3.0 litre Diesel V6, 5.0 litre V8 Petrol and Supercharged 5.0 litre V8 Supersport – and with four trim levels plus standard and long wheelbase versions, there’s near–infinite scope for personal choice. Features like the panoramic sunroof, dual–view touchscreen and intuitive media hub proves that no other maker understands contemporary luxury like Jaguar.
