The Road to the World Car Awards journey concluded today at the New York International Auto Show.
The Auto A7 won the 2019 World Luxury Car, the Suzuki Jimny won 2019 World Urban Car and the McLaren 720S won 2019 World Performance Car.
Audi A8 won last year’s World Luxury Car, making it the second consecutive win for Audi. It is the 10th time an Audi AG has won a World Car award in the 15-year history.
In the World Urban Car category, a Suzuki car has been a top three finalist for the last three years. The Jimny is also a top three finalist in the World Car Design of the Year category.
The Road to the World Car Awards is an annual journey in partnership with the New York International Auto Show, where it follows a team of 86 international journalists as they test-drive and vote on the eligible vehicles.
“The Jimny is the one-and only, compact, authentic off-roader, and we have kept true to this concept for almost 50 years,” says President of Suzuki Motor Corporation Toshihiro Suzuki.
“We accept this award on behalf of our fans, as well as with pride and confidence in our passion to build exciting cars to be the foot of our customers’ everyday lives.”
The official launch of the awards was held in Paris last year on 2 October and ended with today.
Autotalk reported the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace won three awards at the 2019 World Car awards – 2019 World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car.
