Geneva, 04 March 2019: Jaguar’s all electric I-PACE has been voted ‘Car of the Year’ at the European Car of the Year Awards 2019. This is the first time that Jaguar has won the top spot at the prestigious awards.

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.

The I-PACE was designed and engineered in the UK from scratch, and is rated as one of the most technologically advanced battery electric vehicle. It has sold more than 8,000 units till date; 75% of them in Europe.

The I-PACE 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.
