The Kia EV9 has been declared the 2024 Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year (WWCOTY). The announcement coincides with International Women’s Day—a momentous occasion that not only empowers women but also acknowledges the connection between personal autonomy and automobiles in many countries.
Prior to casting their votes, the 75 motoring journalists hailing from 52 nations tested numerous car models, thoroughly evaluating every aspect. Among the 63 contenders, the best automobiles in each category emerged victorious in the initial voting round. The winners in their respective categories were as follows:
- Volvo EX30 (Family Car)
- BMW Series 5 (Large Car)
- Kia EV9 (SUV)
- Volkswagen Amarok (4x4 & Pick-up)
- Aston Martin DB12 (Exclusive Car)
“This year’s election was particularly difficult due to the excellent level of all the candidates, says Marta Garcia, executive president of WWCOTY. Each of the finalists had sufficient merit to win the trophy. The Kia EV9 has won out over its rivals because it is a vehicle capable of satisfying the needs of consumers everywhere.”
After careful analysis and thorough examination, the verdict overwhelmingly favors the Kia EV9 as the leading choice in the realm of electric SUVs. Boasting an impressive seven-seat capacity, it is the first of its kind in this segment. Despite its considerable length of five meters, the vehicle excels in aerodynamics, contributing to its exceptional performance. Notably, the Kia EV9 showcases a cutting-edge design, incorporating advanced technology and offering both bidirectional charging and ultra-fast charging capabilities.
