Tuesday 12th November 2019, Whitley, UK – Jaguar’s all-electric Performance SUV has won Germany’s most famous car award, the #goldensteeringwheel. The #ipace triumphed in the Mid-size SUV category, ahead of the Audi Q3 and Seat Tarraco.

Designed and developed in the UK, the #ipace was created from a clean sheet of paper with the aim of delivering the world’s best premium electric vehicle – and a true #jaguar driver’s car. Its combination of sports car performance, zero emissions, exceptional refinement, and all-wheel drive SUV usability and practicality make #ipace the stand-out choice in its segment.

A 90kWh lithium-ion battery enables a range of up to 292 miles (WLTP) and is capable of charging from 0-80% in just 40 minutes (100kW DC). The two light, compact and efficient Jaguar-designed motors generate a combined output of 400PS and 696Nm of instant torque, delivering 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds.

Prof Sir Ralf Speth, #jaguar Land Rover Chief Executive Officer, accepted the #goldensteeringwheel for the #jaguar #ipace at the award ceremony in Berlin, and said: “"As part of our ‘Destination Zero’ vision, #jaguar Land Rover is pursuing an ambitious goal: To establish an environmentally friendly closed-loop economy. The #jaguar #ipace is the clear and creative representation of our vision – an exciting, emissions-free electric vehicle.

As a British manufacturer of premium vehicles we are delighted to win the #goldensteeringwheel in the world's most demanding and competitive premium car market.

This award is one of many prestigious awards the #ipace has won. We will use this validation to intensify our efforts to offer desirable and highly innovative vehicles to our customers.

I thank the readers and the experts for rewarding the courage and forward thinking of our designers and engineers with their vote for the #ipace.”

For the 43rd #goldensteeringwheel Awards, millions of readers of Auto Bild and their sister publications in over 20 European countries, together with readers of the Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag chose their favourites. After the votes had been counted, the 21 finalists – three in each of the seven categories – were thoroughly tested at the Lausitz-Ring circuit by the jury of racing drivers, leading motoring journalists and other car experts, with a focus on driving dynamics, connectivity, design, and total cost of ownership.
