Jaguar’s electric I-Pace keeps scooping the awards
Battery-powered SUV wins European Car of the Year and makes World Car shortlist
Jaguar’s I-Pace electric SUV has scooped the European Car of the Year title and has been shortlisted for the World Car of the Year award. Just as it was being launched in SA, priced between R1.7m and R1.9m, the luxury battery-powered car was announced as winner of the European title at the Geneva motor show last week. It is the first Jaguar to win the award in the competition’s 55 years and the I-Pace has been a global sensation, picking up awards in 15 different countries. Also at the Geneva show, the I-Pace was named as one of the three final contenders for the World Car finals, alongside the Audi e-tron and the Volvo S60/V60. A jury of 86 international automotive journalists whittled these down from a larger list, and the overall winner, along with six category victors, will be announced at the New York auto show in April.
