The Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year is pleased to announce the winners of the five categories in this year’s award: Family Car, Large Car, SUV, Exclusive Car and 4×4 & Pick- Up. All these vehicles represent excellence in their segments in terms of safety, driving, technology, comfort, efficiency, environmental impact and value for money..
A total of 62 candidates were in the running to win one of the WWCOTY categories. All of them must meet the requirement of having been launched in at least two continents between January 1 and December 31, 2023.
This is the 14th edition of the awards presented by WWCOTY which consists of a team of 75 women motoring journalists from 52 countries on five continents. It is the only all- female jury in the automotive industry worldwide.
The work of the jurors over the past year has been marked by a market in continuous evolution towards more efficient and sustainable models. “Voting was not easy due to the extraordinary level of the candidates,” says Marta Garcia, president of the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year. “No vote was given at random. All have responded to demanding driving tests, detailed analysis and challenging studies of the competition. That’s why the WWCOTY awards are the benchmark for millions of buyers around the world”.
The result is five unbeatable models, five cars that represent excellence in their category, automobiles that deserve one of the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year awards.
These five winners now announced will go through to the final round of judging to determine the winner of WWCOTY’s top award.
The Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year winner will be announced on the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year Youtube Channel at 00:00 on 8 March, International Women’s Day. Stay tuned!
