Mahwah, NJ. – Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is proud to announce its two latest accolades from Winding Road magazine’s ‘Best Car of the Year’ awards. The 2012 Jaguar XJ took home the “Best Luxury Sedan” award and the 2012 Land Rover LR4 was named “Best Big Utility.

Winning two of Winding Road’s top awards is a tremendous achievement for Jaguar Land Rover,” said Andy Goss, President, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC. “This acknowledgement reaffirms the unparalleled design and engineering of the Jaguar XJ and the luxury and capability of the Land Rover LR4.

Winding Road’s Best Car of the Year Awards seek out and honor the best drivers’ vehicles, across every level of size, form, and functionality, selected from the hundreds of vehicles that its editors review each year.

This is the first Winding Road Best Car of the Year Award for Land Rover, and the second consecutive award for the Jaguar XJ – there are twelve different awards categories in total.The XJ manages to combine magic-carpet-ride smoothness, an eager drivetrain and a willingness to respond to the helm. Those desirable qualities are rarely found together in big cars.

Revolutionary, not evolutionary, the XJ is truly a product of the 21st century and is the clearest indication yet of the singular sense of purpose behind Design Director Ian Callum’s vision for the future of Jaguar.
