AutoZine Awards 2011

Car of the Year

Jaguar XJ
Our finalists of the best car released last year include Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Ford C-Max, Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Ferrari 599 GTO. All are excellent machines, yet none of them quite match the eventual winner Jaguar XJ. Why ? because the British luxury limousine is truly amazing in all crucial areas - Its design is mold-breaking. Its luxury yacht-inspired interior is so unique and desirable. Most important, it is highly engaging to drive, something other limousines missed. Taking advantage of its lightweight construction, the big cat can forgo complicated electronic driving aids, keeping its controls transparent to the driver and its response consistent. Who says limousines have to be boring ?
