The annual World Car Awards is arguably the most valued automotive awards programme, announcing the very best vehicles on the market. This year marked a shift in what qualities people want in a car as all three finalists for the World Car Of The Year (WCOTY) Award were electric vehicles.
A jury of over 100 distinguished international automotive journalists voted the All-Electric Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Kia EV6 as world-class leaders in performance, value, safety, efficiency and innovation, which earned them a spot as this year’s top 3 finalists.
(WCOTY Score: 773)
The beautifully sculpted All-Electric Mustang Mach-E brings the freedom, performance and iconic character of the iconic Mustang sports car into the electric era.

The multi-award-winning, all-electric Kia EV6 promises outstanding performance, 0 to 62mph in as fast as 5.2 seconds (quicker than many sports cars), and zero-emission driving range up to 328 miles*. There is minimal downtime in the EV6 as its 800-volt, ultra-fast charging takes the battery from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.
There are three grades of the Kia EV6 from which to choose (Air, GT-Line and GT-Line S), all with the latest high-tech connectivity and safety features as standard, and the new Kia EV6 GT is expected to arrive in late 2022.
