The Jaguar XF has emerged as winner of the Executive and Luxury category in the What Car? Used Car of the Year Awards 2011. Commended by the judges as a 'seriously desirable and sophisticated car', the XF fought off strong competition in a highly competitive segment.

Chas Hallett, What Car?'s editor-in-chief, said: "The Jaguar XF's combination of sharp, contemporary styling, build quality, refinement, sporting agility and equipment is a winning formula, especially in the secondhand market where a highly specified model can now be bought for less than £20,000."

The seven-strong What Car? Used Car of the Year judging panel were from all areas of the motor industry including experts from What Car?.
