MAHWAH, N.J., JUNE 29, 2009 - Jaguar and Land Rover were each recognized today for their leading ownership experience in Strategic Vision Inc.'s (SVI) Total Quality Index? (TQI). This recognition for both brands demonstrates Jaguar Land Rover's commitment to producing vehicles that buyers judge high in perceived quality and emotional delight.

The Total Quality Index? is a complete measure of the total ownership experience. Buyers are asked to rate all aspects of their buying, owning and driving experience. This accounts for a wide variety of aspects, including customers' commitment to, advocacy and vehicle loyalty.

The Jaguar and Land Rover brands rated first and second place, respectively, for the $30,000+ category, with Jaguar also being recognized as the most-improved brand among all competitors. Range Rover scored a first place finish in the Luxury Utility segment and notably, many other models across both brands scored very well in their segments.

"For Jaguar and Land Rover to rank as leaders in Total Quality is validation that we offer an exemplary entire ownership experience, from the vehicles' quality and performance, to the buying and ownership experience," says Gary Temple, President, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC.  "This recognition highlights the enormous passion and pride our employees, dealers and customers have for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles."

IRVINE, Calif.  November 11, 2008 – The 2009 Jaguar XF won a PM 2009 Automotive Excellence Award and will be featured in the December 2008 issue of Popular Mechanics. The magazine chose the year’s top vehicles in ten different categories, selecting the XF as the winner in the Luxury category.

Popular Mechanics editors praised the sedan for its balance of luxury and sport, stating that it “delivers, without being loud, crude or harsh”.  The XF’s interior impressed PM with its phosphor blue interior mood lighting, rotating vents and JaguarDrive^TM rising rotary gear selector.  On the road, the editors found the XF to be quiet and refined at cruising speeds, but also fast and responsive when called upon.

“The solid body structure adds to the supreme quiet that occupants will appreciate,” wrote PM editors. “Moreover, the 420-hp supercharged 4.2-liter V8 is nearly silent—until you break out of your ennui and decide to wake up this cat. Soon the scenery blurs as you push the XF hard, flick those paddle shifters and let the brilliant chassis work the road. The XF is Jaguar’s best sedan ever.”

"It is an honor to receive a Popular Mechanics' Automotive Excellence Award, and I feel very proud to have led the team that designed the award-winning XF," said Ian Callum Design Director of Jaguar Cars.  "We are creating a new generation of cars that started with the XK, and now continue with the XF - a four-door sedan that has the heart and soul of a sports car and the looks of a grand tourer."

Popular Mechanics selects the winners based on its year long evaluations of new models. Each of the ten awards is given based on different categories, some of which include Performance, Value, Off-Road Ability and Design. Some of the other vehicles to win awards include the Ford F-150, Volkswagen Jetta TDI, Ford Flex and BMW 135i. For more information on the awards, visit http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars2009.
