“Jaguar XE crowned best large car in 2015 Diesel Car Awards”

The Jaguar XE has been named Best Large Car in the 2015 Diesel Car Magazine Awards, beating tough competition from the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Ford Mondeo.

The judges praised the XE's competitive pricing, beautiful looks, classy cabin, low CO2 emissions and its sporty driving dynamics.

Diesel Car editor Ian Robertson said: "With a thrilling driving experience that enthusiasts yearn for and class-leading emissions, Jaguar has taken on the Germans and beaten them at their own game!"

The Jaguar XE is the only car in its class to feature a lightweight aluminium-intensive monocoque which, combined with Jaguar Land Rover's efficient new Ingenium diesel engines, helps it to deliver fuel economy as high as 75mpg and emissions as low as 99g/km CO2.

It will arrive in retailers next month priced from £26,990.
