Jaguar Land Rover celebrates 2010 international award success

Mahmoudia Motors, one of the leading automotive groups for premium car brands in Jordan announced that Jaguar Land Rover celebrated a successful 2010 having received more than eighty international awards for its vehicles during the year, including five awards from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

The tally of awards was shared almost equally between the two brands. Leading the charge for Land Rover was the LR4 with over 28 global awards in 2010 bringing its total to 144 since its launch in 2004. 

Commenting on the awards, Ammer Bajjali, Jaguar Land Rover Brand Manager, stated, "The LR4 offers an exceptional breadth of capability. It is now one of the most highly-decorated vehicles ever and we are thrilled that it continues to receive such great recognition across the industry."

Other Land Rover nameplates also had a tremendous year with the Range Rover being voted the 'Car of the Decade' by readers of autocar.co.uk, the Range Rover Sport voted 'Best 4x4' by Auto Bild (Germany) and the LR2 was voted 'Best Compact SUV' at the Auto Express Car of the Year Awards. In addition the Range Rover Vogue won the Middle East Motor Award for ‘Best Premium Luxury SUV’ at the recent International Automotive Show held at the Expo Centre in Sharjah.

Jaguar's new XJ got off to a flying start receiving more than 20 international honours including 'Best Luxury Car' from China's Auto News, 'Annual Limousine King’ from Quattroroute (Italy), 'Luxury Car of the Year' from Top Gear (UK), Automobile Magazine's '2011 Design of the Year' and 'Best Executive Sedan' at the Bloomberg Awards (US). Regionally, the XJ was named ‘Middle East Big Saloon of the Year’ by Evo ME magazine ‘Executive Car of the Year’ by Car Middle East and ‘Best Luxury Performance Car’ by Automobile Middle East.

And it was not just production cars that caught the eye of the auto industry elite. The C-X75 concept car was named 'car of the show' at the 2010 Paris Automobile Show as well as scooping the ‘Design and Technology’ title from Car Middle East.

The motoring press is not the only collective which has heaped praise on Jaguar in 2010. JD Power Associates in the U.S. named Jaguar as the leader in customer satisfaction having achieved the highest score in their annual Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) StudySM – The brand also ranked as the highest luxury brand.

This followed news from What Car? – Britain's biggest car buying guide – that Jaguar was named as a leading manufacturer in its owner satisfaction survey. Not only did the XF scoop the title of best executive car on its JD Power debut (UK survey), but the XF finished second overall and helped Jaguar achieve its position as third out of 27 manufacturers – an improvement of 13 points from 2009.
