I’m surprised the Jaguar Estate didn’t take any honours in the year’s competition and can only assume it was because the opposition was so strong. The 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine is a gem, the gears are nicely spaced and the whole car feels ‘taut’.
No problems with stability either, and as a driving judge my only concern was a small amount of pitching over rough surfaces. Caravanability judges rated it highly too: it took all our accessory load apart from a big waste water tank.
