Live, from Geneva, the election of the Car of the Year 2022
The title of Car of the Year in Europe is one of the most coveted
Among the nominees, the only combustion model, and plug-in hybrid, is the new peugeot 308. The remaining six are zero-emission models, with the European throne aspiring to the CUPRA Born, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, Renault Megane E-Tech, Skoda Enyaq iV and the Ford Mustang Mach-Ea true winner in the Old Continent.
Two compact passenger cars, compared to three crossovers and two SUVs. Regardless of body type, this new edition of the COTY 2022 awards shows that electrification at the highest level is conquering the market, which is also reflected in the continuous increase in sales figures last year. A trend that is going to be more on the rise, despite the fact that the brands have already announced from what year they will become purely electric.
In a few minutes, the Toyota Yaris will deliver the award of the year 2021 to another model. The Japanese brand has no chance to retain the title, but the bets, and all eyes, are focused on a very specific one: the model of the blue oval brand. The American firm has pursued this title with the “muscle-car” since 1965a career that has been very uphill for him but now has a great opportunity, especially in view of how he has managed to penetrate Europe.
