The Women’s World Car of the Year jury has announced the winners in each of the six categories for the 2023 awards.

The winners were chosen based on several factors, including safety, driving, comfort, technology, design, efficiency, impact on the environment and value for money. This year’s awards were particularly challenging for the jurors due to the excellent quality of all the candidates. The six winners will go through to the final round of judging to determine the winner of the Women’s World Car of the Year award, which will be announced on 8 March, International Women’s Day.

The Women’s World Car of the Year is the only car awards group in the world comprised exclusively of women motoring journalists. Created by New Zealand motoring journalist Sandy Myhre in 2009, the unique award aims to recognise the best cars of the year and give a voice to women in the automotive world. The voting criteria are based on the same principles that guide any driver when choosing a car, and the jurors do not select a ‘woman’s car’ because cars are not gender specific.

This year’s winners represent excellence in their categories, and each one has unique features that make them stand out.

The Winners

The Kia Niro won the Urban Model category, thanks to its spaciousness, practicality, safety, eco-friendly powertrains, and low fuel consumption.

The Jeep Avenger, Jeep’s first 100% electric vehicle, won the Family SUV category due to its successful design and excellent off-road capability. The Citroën C5 X took home the Large Car award, thanks to its exceptional comfort, roominess, and attractive design, available with petrol and plug-in hybrid engines.

The Large SUV category winner was the Nissan X-Trail, which offers plenty of interior space, seven seats, and efficient performance in difficult terrain, thanks to Nissan’s e-power technology.

The Ford Ranger won the 4×4 category, thanks to its reliability, style, and charisma, and its practicality as an off-roader with a cargo box.

Finally, the Audi RS 3 won the Performance Car category with its very sporty model and advanced technology developed in circuit racing.

Beyond choosing the best cars of the year, the Women’s World Car of the Year aims to give visibility to women in the automotive world and contribute to making women’s voices heard on all continents because mobility for a woman means access to many personal and professional possibilities. As the only car awards group in the world comprised exclusively of women motoring journalists, the Women’s World Car of the Year provides a unique perspective and insight into the best cars on the market today. Stay tuned for the final winner announcement on International Women’s Day!
