The Jaguar XE was crowned Best Compact Executive at the annual Auto Express Awards, while the all-new Jaguar XF picked up the
prestigious Design Award.

Auto Express Editor-In-Chief Steve Fowler said: "There are few sectors as competitive as the compact executive class so it's testament to Jaguar that its new XE wins the Auto Express Best Compact Executive Award for 2015. Its beaten multi-award winning rivals to take the title, impressing us with its sense of occasion, its efficiency, its technology and the fact that it's just great fun to drive. It's a compact exec without compromises."

Both awards were collected by Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design, who said: "It's been an incredible evening for Jaguar. With XE, our aim was always to do more than just compete with the established segment leaders - we wanted XE to move the game on, to be the best. Winning Best Compact Executive shows that's exactly what we've done."
