Jaguar to showcase a specific F-Pace at this years London motor Show

• Following its double win at the World Car of the Year Awards, a unique Jaguar F-PACE in World Car of the Year livery will be appearing at the London Motor Show
• Jaguar’s first ever SUV was named as 2017 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year at the awards in early April
• The unique F-PACE – designed, developed and built in the UK – will be proudly displayed at Jaguar’s home motor show alongside its two trophies
• The London Motor Show takes place at Battersea Evolution from 4-7 May

Having been crowned a double World Car of the Year winner in New York just weeks ago, the Jaguar F-PACE is bringing its trophies home, with a starring appearance at the London Motor Show from 4-7 May.

Designed, developed and built in the UK, the Jaguar F-PACE was named World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year by a panel of 75 influential motoring journalists from all over the world in April. The Jaguar is the first British car to have won the World Car of the Year title – let alone two titles – and will proudly be on display in unique World Car of the Year livery along with its trophies for the London Motor Show crowds. 

These latest wins continue an incredible run of awards for the Jaguar F-PACE since its introduction in April 2016. As well as becoming the fastest-selling Jaguar ever, the F-PACE has collected more than 40 awards, including Women’s World Car of the Year, Auto Express Car of the Year and The Telegraph’s Best Premium SUV Award. 

Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK MD, said: “The Jaguar F-PACE is one of the greatest British automotive success stories and the fastest-selling Jaguar ever; fully developed and built in the UK, it’s managed to triumph over some of the world’s largest brands to win two World Car of the Year titles. It’s only right that the car and both of the trophies it won are displayed here in the UK at the London Motor Show for the whole nation to see.” 

It is already the most searched Jaguar ever in the UK with 4.4 million unique page views of F-PACE content since launch and more than 680,000 people taking the time to configure their dream F-PACE online.

Jaguar’s first performance SUV is designed and developed in the UK and built at Solihull. The business invested £120m in its Solihull facility to build the F-PACE, part of a total £2bn investment in the plant and awarded £5bn of UK supplier contracts to support its production.

Engine options for the F-PACE range from the efficient and innovative four-cylinder 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel, with CO2 emissions as low as 126g/km to the high-performance 380PS, supercharged V6 petrol model that can accelerate from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in just 5.5 seconds.

MG is the first and, and so far, only manufacturer to attend the London Motor Show, seems apt really.

TMW THOUGHTS

It seems really, really weird that when the world has all these famous shows, MG fails time and again to attend ANY of them, then we have "The London Motor-show" and no manufacturers have signed up for it, in fact a number have complained that they were being advertised as signed up when they have not, or will not, yet when NO Brands have signed up, MG does, and it goes to show how inept the bosses at MG are.

They need to clear out the idiots at Longbridge and get in some people that will actually do the right thing, the Dynamo, would have been a huge seller, especially around London, the MG5 could have been a great car to have but no, we don t get that either, the MG6, gets the saloon cut, half the colours cut, the petrol engined version, cut, and yet it still is not selling, the only saving grace is the MG3, but that's missing a few engines, an Auto, and options that are not so old, like some of the stickers, do you want to have a roof full of smileys on your car, no, well,  no one else does either, its time to either put up, or pull out, because its just not working, and the dealers are dropping as quick as they add new ones.

And one last thing, which goes to show how out of touch they are, Goodwood is one of the worlds biggest automotive events, and has one of the biggest motor shows the UK has ever seen, and yet in their press release, they say, "it’s great to see a motor show return to the UK" so what has Goodwood been doing for years and years, their comments do Goodwood a disservice, and that's why they have no idea.

Its Back - The Motor Show in London returns, but what effect will it have on established shows.

A SHOW. AN EXHIBITION. AN EVENT.

• Central London location in Battersea Park
• Low cost of entry for exhibitors and visitors
• A show with experiential activities
• An exhibition for sales, seminars and forums
• A great event for all the family

The new London Motor Show will be staged in the UK’s capital city in May 2016. The Show has a progressive and exciting format, designed to appeal across the board to a wide range of motoring visitors and enthusiasts. 

The Show will be staged at the Battersea Park Evolution site, an increasingly popular location hosting events in the capital with giant structures and exhibition space. 

The London Motor Show was officially launched at a reception held at St. James’s Palace on 27th May 2015, hosted by HRH Prince Michael of Kent GCVO, the Patron of the London Motor Show.

JAGUAR LAND ROVER HAVE YET TO COMMIT TO THE SHOW

The London Motor Show will be held from the 5th to the 8th May 2016 and will feature cars from major vehicle manufacturers, together with exhibits from related automotive companies showcasing the very latest automotive technologies and developments, from hybrid and electric vehicles to driverless cars. 

Exhibitors will have the opportunity of engaging, as never before, with visitors to the London Motor Show, which brings a totally fresh approach to a centrally based motor show.

A seminar programme, involving leading figures from the industry, discussing important and relevant motoring issues will be arranged with members of the public having the opportunity of asking questions and meeting face to face with industry and government leaders.

Visitors will not only be able to view the latest new cars, but will also be able to take part in a variety of related activities, including the opportunity of arranging a road test of the car, or cars, of their choice from the venue. 

Areas will be devoted to providing a variety of important and relevant issues including road safety, new technology, training, city driving as well as family entertainment and top quality hospitality.

Battersea Park is very conveniently located for visitors, close to main line railway stations, the London underground and local bus services, also within easy travelling distance from London City Airport and Heathrow. 

An important element of the show is that it will appeal to a broad section of the motoring public from families to young drivers, fleet buyers and business users, in essence something for everyone.

“With the considerable changes happening in the motor industry, this is exactly the right time to bring to London a high-profile motoring event,” said a spokesman for the London Motor Show. “It will provide an important platform for the UK’s buoyant and confident manufacturers, importers and retailers to showcase their products. 

The London Motor Show will bring global brands to the capital, to an event that visitors will find truly engaging.”
