(Coventry, 3rd November, 2018) The all‑electric Jaguar I‑PACE was crowned overall Car of the Year and Best Alternative Fuel Car at the 2018 Scottish Car of the Year awards as part of an awards hat trick for Jaguar.
The E‑PACE, Jaguar’s compact performance SUV, completed the awards trio, beating rivals to collect the Best Premium SUV title at the ceremony held at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club last night.
This latest recognition from the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers is the fourth time Jaguar has taken home the top award and caps an incredible week for the Jaguar I‑PACE after it was named as the first‑ever German Car of the Year on Tuesday.
We are delighted to win this award in such an important market for Jaguar Land Rover. We are very proud that the I‑PACE has been acknowledged as a game‑changer, yet remains recognisable as a Jaguar, with luxury and capability at the heart of its design, along with one of the most advanced zero‑emissions powertrains ever fitted to a production car. The I‑PACE is an electric vehicle that's practical for everyday use and we look forward to seeing even more on the road.

All-electric Jaguar I-PACE named 2018 Scottish Car Of The Year
The I‑PACE is an all‑electric performance SUV that puts Jaguar at the forefront of the electric vehicle revolution. It offers sports car performance of 0‑60mph in 4.5 seconds alongside a 292‑mile range (WLTP cycle), five seats and zero emissions, making it both a practical and exhilarating SUV, packed full of the latest innovations.
Jaguar’s first all‑electric vehicle can achieve a 0‑80 percent battery charge in 85‑minutes using public DC charging (50kW) and can achieve the same state of charge in just over ten hours when home charging via an AC wall box (7kW) – ideal for overnight charging.
The I‑PACE SUV is the most stunning car produced by Jaguar since the E‑Type. It is the most exciting car currently on the market and it fully deserves the Scottish Car of the Year crown. It looks great, drives superbly and offers all the luxury you would expect from a Jaguar. At the same time it is a huge step forward for the company and a game‑changer for electric vehicles in general.

Scotland has a long history of design excellence, and as a Scot, it is a huge honour to be awarded Scottish Car of The Year for I‑PACE. Development of the I‑PACE started many years ago, with design and engineering working closely to achieve a vision to create not only the best electric vehicle but the best car, all round ‑ and this award really affirms that.
