Jaguar's XJ long wheelbase has been named 'Chauffeur Car of the Year 2008' in the under £50,000 category by The Chauffeur magazine.

Judging the awards were members of the motoring media and key industry opinion formers.

David Spencer, Head of Corporate Sales at Jaguar, said: "I am thrilled the XJ long wheelbase has won this award. We are very proud of our lightweight, luxury vehicle, particularly the more-recently introduced 2.7-litre diesel version, which has been a big hit in the chauffeur market since its launch. With better economy and lower CO2 emissions, the XJ long wheelbase is an increasingly attractive proposition."

Paul Gibson, Editor of The Chauffeur magazine commented: "I am delighted to present this prestigious award to Jaguar for its XJ long wheelbase diesel, which has been welcomed by the chauffeuring industry. The vehicle represents real value for money, true luxury and gives the chauffeur everything he needs to carry out his job successfully."

Building on the success of the XJ diesel since its introduction in September 2005, Jaguar announced the XJ long wheelbase diesel the following year. This car combines all the excellent attributes of the long wheelbase car with the refinement of the 2.7 twin-turbo diesel engine.
