The Hyundai Ioniq has been named Supreme Winner at the Women’s World Car of the Year.
It was “a clear winner”, with the Ioniq EV, Ioniq hybrid and PHEV plug-in hybrid treated as one car for voting purposes.
The Ioniq also won the Green Car category.
“The car that wins the Supreme award has gone through a rigorous test by 25 judges from 20 different countries who are on the panel of Women’s World Car of the Year,” Women’s World Car of the Year chief executive Sandy Myhre says.
“It’s a democratic process and cars that have won categories and the supreme winner really have to stand out.”
“It must be mentioned that Mazda did very well to have three cars nominated, and score so highly, in all three categories.”
The Mazda CX-5 was named runner up, also taking out the Family Car of the Year section.
In other categories, the Ford Fiesta won the Budget Car category, the Peugeot 3008 won the
SUV/Crossover category, the BMW 5 Series won the Luxury Car category and Honda Civic Type R won the Performance Car category.
Judges also nominated the McLaren 720S as the Dream Car they’d like to own.
