WWCOTY announces category winners
January 29, 2024
The Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year is pleased to announce the winners of the five categories in this year’s award which are for best Family Car, Large Car, SUV, Exclusive Car and 4×4 & Pick-Up.
A total of 62 candidates were in the running to win one of the WWCOTY categories. All of them had to meet the requirement of having been launched in at least two continents between January 1 and December 31, 2023.
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,” said Marta Garcia, president of the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year.
The result is five outstanding models that will go through to the final round of judging to determine the winner of WWCOTY’s top award.
The category winners are Best Family Car – Volvo EX30; Best Large Car – BMW 5 Series; Best SUV – Kia EV9; Best Exclusive Car – Aston Martin DB12 and Best 4×4 & Pick-up – VW Amarok.
All these vehicles represent excellence in their segments in terms of safety, driving, technology, comfort, efficiency, environmental impact and value for money.
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 Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year winner will be announced on March 8, which is International Women’s Day.
