Top Gear has named the Jaguar XJ as its Luxury Car of the Year 2010, placing the British firm's flagship model above rivals from BMW and Audi.
Writing in the most recent Awards Issue of Top Gear Magazine, Editor at Large Jason Barlow described the XJ as a "Blast from the future," adding "rarely has a new car slackened so many jaws."
The XJ is a landmark vehicle from a revitalised and more confident Jaguar. Since launch in May 2010, it has been extremely well received by customers and media alike and is fast becoming a multi-awarding winning model, having already scooped the Scottish Luxury Car of the Year and What Car? Luxury Green Car of the Year accolades.
"The Jaguar XJ brought a bold new approach to the luxury car market with its distinctive blend of eye catching design, luxury and exceptional performance," said Robin Colgan, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover MENA.
"We're delighted that the Top Gear team - definitely one of the toughest judging panels anywhere in the motoring world - have recognised what makes the XJ so special with this award."
With its lightweight aluminum architecture, the XJ is the most efficient luxury car in its class. Since its arrival in to Middle East showrooms earlier this year, the all-new XJ has generated rave reviews from automotive press and car lovers in the region, firmly establishing its place at the forefront of the luxury car industry.
The Jaguar XJ is on-sale now at Jaguar dealerships throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
