The general UK Automobile of the Yr is ready to be revealed on 6 March. Nevertheless, panellists have named the winner of the Household Automobile class, the Government Automobile class, the Massive Crossover class, the Small Crossover class, and the Small Automobile class.
The Škoda Very good received the Household Automobile class. Prime Gear’s Ollie Marriage commented: “The world may be changing fast, but there’s still so much to be said of a car that knows precisely what it’s for.”
The Polestar 4 topped the Government Automobile class. John Challen, Editor and MD of UK Automobile of the Yr, stated: “Daring to be different has really paid off with the Polestar 4. Its combination of innovative design, impressive performance and quality materials throughout make it a very sought-after – and popular – EV.”
The brand new Hyundai SANTA FE was named Massive Crossover of the Yr. The Hyundai SANTA FE and the IONIQ 5 N will transfer ahead with the 5 different class winners for consideration as the general UK Automobile of the Yr 2025.
Natisha Chatten, UK Automobile of the Yr Awards choose, stated: “A bold and exciting vehicle with striking design. Its impressive equipment and spacious interior make the new Hyundai SANTA FE an incredibly practical choice for families, seamlessly blending style with functionality.”
The Kia EV3 received the Small Crossover class. UKCOTY panellist Alex Grant stated: “The EV3 takes the entire greatest bits of the EV9 and distils them right into a product focusing on one of many UK’s biggest-volume segments.
“It’s futuristic to look at but intuitive to use, rides and handles UK roads brilliantly and offers a usefully long range of almost 400 miles. A very easy way for families to go electric.”
Commenting on the Small Automobile of the Yr, the Suzuki Swift, Chatten stated: “An unbeatable mixture of reliability and effectivity, because of its easy powertrain.
“In a market filled with complex vehicles, the Swift offers a refreshing simplicity, all while maintaining an affordable price tag that makes it accessible for a wide range of drivers.”
