Which Jaguar electric SUV won the 2019 World Car of the Year award?

The Jaguar electric SUV that won the 2019 World Car of the Year award was the Jaguar I-Pace.

The I-Pace was Jaguar's first battery-electric production vehicle and was designed as a dedicated electric SUV rather than a combustion model converted to electric power. Its battery pack was mounted low in the floor, while electric motors drove the front and rear axles, giving it all-wheel drive and a distinctly flat-floored cabin.

Its 2019 World Car Awards success was broader than the headline prize. The I-Pace also won World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car, making it one of the event's most decorated entries that year. In March 2019, it had already become the first Jaguar to win the European Car of the Year award.

A common mix-up is calling it a plug-in hybrid because Jaguar also sold electrified versions of other models. The I-Pace is a fully electric vehicle: it has no gasoline engine or fuel tank. Nor should it be confused with the later Jaguar electric concepts and the unrelated Land Rover-badged SUVs from Jaguar Land Rover's wider corporate family.
