After being described as “the most exciting car we’ve tested over the past 12 months”, Auto Express has awarded the Jaguar I-Pace with the 2018 Car of the Year title.
The British brand’s first all-electric model also won the Electric Car of the Year award, with the SUV model capable of going 298 miles between charges and from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds.
Steve Fowler, Auto Express editor-in-chief, said: “The I-Pace proves that brilliant electric cars are right here, right now – it’s the most exciting new car we’ve tested over the past 12 months.
“We love the way it looks, the space and quality of the interior and most of all that it drives exactly how a modern-day Jaguar should – it’s fantastic fun. On top of all that, it’ll cover city-to-city distances on a single charge in complete comfort – it’s a massively impressive car that bodes well for our electric future.”

Ian Callum, Jaguar’s director of design, said: “We are delighted to pick up such a prestigious accolade for our first all-electric Jaguar. We started with a blank canvas and the goal of creating the world’s most desirable electric vehicle and recognition like this from Auto Express shows that the I-Pace certainly meets that challenge.
“What I’m most proud of is that we have created a Jaguar first and foremost, a Jaguar that happens to be electric. The I-Pace has all of the stunning design cues, characteristics and breadth of dynamic capability that is inherent in our vehicles. It is the Jaguar of the future, here today.”
The Jaguar I-Pace is available to order now, with prices starting from £58,995.
