The Jaguar XE has been named Best Large Car in the 2015 Diesel Car Magazine Awards, beating tough competition from the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Ford Mondeo.

The judges praised the XE's competitive pricing, beautiful looks, classy cabin, low CO2 emissions and its sporty driving dynamics.

Diesel Car Editor Ian Robertson said: "With a thrilling driving experience that enthusiasts yearn for and class-leading emissions, Jaguar has taken on the Germans and beaten them at their own game!"

The Jaguar XE is the only car in its class to feature a lightweight aluminium-intensive monocoque which, combined with Jaguar Land Rover's efficient new Ingenium diesel engines, helps it to deliver fuel economy as low as 4.2l/100km and emissions as low as 111g/km CO2.

The Jaguar XE will go on sale in Australia from 1st September 2015; prices will be announced closer to the time.  The new Jaguar XE may be configured at: http://rules.config.jaguar.com/jdx/en_au/xe/?_ga=1.3440439.64178540.1416539283
