As well as scooping two coveted Top Gear magazine awards – the “Saloon Car of the Year” award for the Jaguar XF S Diesel and “Interior of the Year” for the new XJ – the Jaguar XF has also won the inaugural “Women’s World Car of the Year” award.

This new award was conceived in November last year and stemmed from the fact the US based World Car of the Year judging panel did not have a single female judge in 2007.

Chief Judge, Sandy Myhre, said: “Over the past year the judges have tested 21 cars from the short list and the Jaguar XF was the clear winner, beating the Volvo XC60 by 21 points, which is quite a considerable margin considering some of the cars were separated by one point or less.
