New Jaguar XJ Scoops Luxury Car Category Win
Published: 25th October 2003
"We are delighted with this accolade, and that the new all-aluminium XJ is receiving such recognition only six months after it went on sale," said Stuart Dyble, Jaguar’s Director of Communications & Public Affairs, at the ceremony last night. "This award is the latest example of the terrific response the new XJ has enjoyed from the media, our dealers and, most significantly, from our customers who have made the car such a sales success around the world."
Jaguar has a successful roll of honour at the Scottish Car of the Year awards, with the X-TYPE winning the overall prize in 2001, following the triumph of the S-TYPE in 1999.
Graeme Giles, President of the Association of Scottish Motoring
Writers, commented: "My members were hugely impressed by
the new Jaguar XJ, particularly by its use of advanced materials
and manufacturing techniques. As a result, the car delivers outstanding
performance – regardless of which engine option is chosen
– combined with exceptional handling. Yet it retains those
essential hallmarks, such as interior quality and value for money,
which make any Jaguar special."
