The Jaguar X-Type Estate was voted the overall 'Car of the Year 2004' by UKTV People viewers, during the live final on August 30.

Viewers of UKTV People voted for their favourite cars over the weekend with the TV channel showing specially shot profiles for each car in four different categories (sport, family, luxury, high performance). There were five cars short listed in each category, and the overall winner was based on which car had the highest number of votes amongst the 20 cars.

Over 25,000 viewers voted via the web, SMS and Sky Digital’s red button during the three-day interactive voting event on UKTV People this August Bank Holiday. The X-Type Estate won the family car category and went on to beat other finalists as popular as the Porsche Cayenne, Audi A6 and Porsche GT3 RS to win UKTV People Car of the Year 2004.
