The Jaguar XF has won the top title in the Executive and Luxury segment of the 2011 What Car? Used Car of the Year Awards.

Awarding the title of best Executive and Luxury car to the Jaguar XF, the judges of the What Car? magazine's annual Car of the Year awards described the XF as a "seriously desirable and sophisticated car". The Editor in Chief of What Car? Chas Hallet commented:

"The Jaguar XF's combination of sharp, contemporary styling, build quality, refinement, sporting agility and equipment is a winning formula, especially in the second-hand market where a highly specified model can now be bought for less than £20,000."

Seven judges made up the panel for the awards, including staff from What Car? and industry experts. The winters were picked based on a range of factors including desirability, reliability, running costs, driveability, build quality, longevity and safety.

The latest XF went on sale on 1st September this year, and is the most efficient XF yet. Its 2.2-litre diesel engine comes with start-stop technology to reduce fuel consumption.

The Chief Programme Engineer for the XF Andy Whyman commented on the award, saying:

"We worked tirelessly on the development of the XF for its introduction in 2008. Since then, over 38,000 have been sold in the UK and the momentum continues. To be recognised by What Car? means a great deal to the whole XF team and we're delighted to add another award to our ever-growing tally."
