Organized by the South East Automotive Media Organization (SEAMO), Jaguar’s C-XF concept car was voted the 2007 North American Production Preview Vehicle of the Year Award.

According to juror Chris Poole, “The Jaguar C-XF reinterprets Jaguar's traditional 'grace, space, pace' in a fresh, original new way – which is no easy task. And, all without a sign of [retrospective design]."



These awards recognize vehicles that are most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry. With more than two dozen professional automotive journalists from all over North America on the jury panel, the Jaguar C-XF was selected amongst 11 Production Preview Concept Vehicles that were launched in North America during the 2007 Auto Show season.

“We are honored that the Jaguar C-XF was voted 2007 Production Preview Vehicle of the Year Award in such a highly competitive segment," said Marti Eulberg, executive vice president of Marketing and Sales, Jaguar North America. “Although purely a concept vehicle, the C-XF definitely signals a new design direction for Jaguar.”

The Jaguar C-XF concept car made its debut on January 7, 2007 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Mich. It's a stunning four-door sedan that blends dynamic, modern features with classic heritage cues and boasts a 4.2-liter supercharged V8 engine.

In January 2007, the Jaguar C-XF also won AutoWeek’s Editors' Choice Award for Best in Show.
