Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year announces 2025 category winners
As a member of Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year, earlier this month the organization announced winners in the eight categories recognized by the organization.
These awards were given for Urban Model, Compact SUV, Large Car, Large SUV, 4x4 and Pick-Up, Performance and Luxury Car, Best Tech and the Sandy Myhre Award for the most pro-woman brand.
All these vehicles represent excellence in terms of safety, driving, technology, comfort, efficiency, environmental impact, value for money, and gender equality beings and were acknowledged by WWCOTY members as the best in each class.
A total of 81 candidates were in the running to win one of the WWCOTY categories. All the vehicles were required to have been launched in at least two continents or 40 countries between January and December 2024.
“The work of the jury has not been easy because this year there have been more contenders than ever before. There are new brands, and models with an ever-increasing quality,” said Marta García, president of Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year. “No vote has been given at random. They have all been subjected to demanding test drives, and demanding competitor studies. That’s why the WWCOTY awards are a benchmark for millions of buyers around the world.”
The result is six unbeatable automobiles that represent excellence in their category.
Coinciding with the announcement of the “Best” in each category, Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year also announced the winner of two important awards: the Best Tech Award for best technology in the automotive world and the Sandy Myhre Award for the brand most committed to women.
The six category winners will go on to be judged in the final round of judging to determine the winner of WWCOTY’s top award, which will be announced on March 6, 2025.
This is the 15th edition of the awards presented by WWCOTY, consisting of 82 female auto journalists from 55 countries on five continents. WWCOTY is the only all-female jury in the automotive industry worldwide.
