The ' Car of the Year (or Car of the Year English) is the most prestigious award in Europe in the automotive sector. Although the Geneva Motor Show has been canceled again , 2022 will also see this important recognition awarded. The seven finalists of this edition have been announced, of which six are electric cars.
The seven finalists
The zero-emission cars , therefore, dominate this list, with the only 'intruder' the Peugeot 308, which is also available in a version with the plug, thanks to the plug-in hybrid. It's hard to talk about a favorite, but she can't be an Italian model. The Maserati MC20 , the only one in the race among the 39 candidates, did not pass this selection and is not included among the seven finalists.
Cupra Born
Ford Mustang Mach-E
Hyundai Ioniq 5
Kia EV6
Peugeot 308
Renault Mégane E-Tech
Škoda Enyaq iV
