Jaguar E-PACE completes a double at Auto Motor und Sport awards

The Jaguar E-PACE was named ‘Best Car of 2019’ by the readers of German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, as it edged out the new Range Rover Evoque for top spot.

Jaguar’s compact SUV also won the best design award in its category before taking the overall prize ahead of the second-generation Evoque and last year’s winner – the Skoda Karoq.

On the night Felix Bräutigam, Jaguar Land Rover’s Director of Sales and Marketing, collected the awards and he said:

“I am very pleased the readers of Auto Motor und Sport have voted the E-PACE with best design in its class, and best car overall. It shows that the combination of sportiness, design and practicality of our PACE SUV models is thought of highly amongst our customers and the readers.

“But also I am pleased that the Range Rover Evoque came second, because the second generation car is almost ready to start and continue the success of its predecessor.”

Overall it was a good night for Jaguar, as the F-TYPE Coupé came second in the sports car class, while the XF and F-TYPE Cabriolet both claimed third places in their respective categories.

In total there was 385 cars imported into Germany split across 11 categories all vying to claim top prize in their segment before aiming for the overall award, as more than 105,000 readers casted their votes for their Best Car of 2019.
