"We're delighted that the 2011 Jaguar XJ has received this honor," said
Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar Global Brand Director. "The all-new XJ is a benchmark
in both design and technology, and we're thrilled to receive such an accolade
from one of the highest international panel of judges in our industry."

Hallmark adds, "This success, along with the redesigned XK and XF, speak
volumes about the future of the Jaguar brand as a leading edge premium car
maker."

Launched in 1997 at the North American International Auto Show, the ICOTY
Awards became the first auto awards to honor new vehicles based on the
emotional connection between car and consumer. Today, the ICOTY Awards have
evolved and are based on lifestyle compatibility and how well automakers
achieve that goal.

"The ICOTY Awards are not about power and performance, but rather about
personality and passion," said ICOTY Executive Producer Courtney Caldwell.

In order to achieve a balanced perspective that reflects all consumers,
ICOTY engages a diverse group of renowned automotive journalists and editors
in the voting process. The ICOTY jury consists of 12 reputable automotive
jurors who represent respected publications such as MSN Autos
(home.autos.msn.com/default.aspx), Consumer Guide Automotive
(consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/), Auto Week
(www.autoweek.com/), and Road & Travel Magazine
(www.roadandtravel.com/), to name a few.

Since its launch in May 2010, the all-new Jaguar XJ has been extremely
well received by customers and media alike, as its list of accolades
continues to grow with this ICOTY honor. Other accolades for the flagship
model include being named Executive Sedan of the Year by Bloomberg,
AUTOMOBILE Magazine's Design of the Year and All-Star awards, Top Gear's
Luxury Car of the Year award, and Popular Science's Best of What's New Award
for 2010 in the Automotive Category, among others.

Priced from $72,700 on the road, the Jaguar XJ is on-sale now at Jaguar
dealerships throughout the US. For all 2011 Jaguar models in North America,
the brand's new best-in-class Jaguar Platinum Coverage also offers
complimentary scheduled maintenance, no-cost replacement of wear and tear
items, 24/7 roadside assistance and a 5 year/50,000 mile new vehicle limited
warranty.
