World Best Car of the Year

The Jaguar F - Pace is 2016 is un-arguably the world car of the year and it has the measure of its SUV rivals from Mercedes, Porsche and BMW. Although Jaguar will not call it a SUV but the configuration and ground clearance speaks volume about the nomenclature. The 2.0-litre diesel is a punchy performer and R-Sport models have all the essential kit – although it’s pricey. With its five seat configuration, t he F-Pace is as luxurious and comfortable as a Jag 4x4 should be, and both company car drivers and private buyers will find its price and low running costs attractive.
