NEWS: F-Pace Crowned Best Choice for Directors as their Company Car!

Jaguar came away with a smug face after another car of theirs secured the title of Car Manager Best SME Director’s Company Car Award.

The game-changing Jaguar F-Pace 2.0d R-Sport that takes over from last year's XF in 2.0d R-Sport trim.


Best Director's Company Car – The Contenders:

  • Jaguar XF 2.0d R-Sport 180PS AWD Auto
  • Jaguar F-Pace 2.0 R-Sport 180PS AWD Auto
  • Audi Q7 3.0 TDI quattro S Line 218PS Tiptronic
  • BMW 7 Series 730d Auto


The judges chose the 2.0-litre R-Sport 180PS Auto version, because despite the SUV stance, the F-Pace has impressive fuel efficiency (54.3mpg) with134g/km CO2 emissions.

Being the Sport trim, directors won't go without kit-wise either, as this F-Pace includes a unique front air-dam, body colour trim, sports seats and interior R-Sport trim features. As well as the impressive CO2 and fuel consumption figures, this F-Pace 2.0d R-Sport auto has all the performance you'd expect of a Jaguar.

Jaguar F-Pace 2.0D R-Sport 180PS AWD Auto

  • CO2: 134g/km
  • Fuel consumption: 54.3mpg
  • Acceleration: 8.2 seconds
  • Maximum speed: 129mph
  • Insurance group: 29
  • P11D value: £39,395
  • 2017/18 Company car tax band: 28%
  • BIK: £11,031
  • Tax at 20%: £2206
  • Tax at 40%: £4412


Key reasons why the F-Pace won

The Jaguar F-Pace gives the Director presence without being too flashy, and the practicality and assurance of being able to drive in any condition thrown at them.

The space afforded by the SUV design accommodates all the family, yet is still a business car that you can use for clients. The addition of Jaguar's AWD system provides assurance whilst driving in all weathers and on a variety of surfaces.

We think the title is rightly deserved, the F-Pace a stunning vehicle. Easily up there with one of our favourites at the moment.
