Cars winning the Best Car award is very different from their brilliance across the world of cinema. The choice of cinema follows the whims, but the car awards granted are given conditions depending on the car, its capabilities, driving position, car reliability and the interior. Here is a list of 20 cars that won the Best Car in its Class award for 2021, and in each Award We discuss the conditions of the award, and when the car won the award for Best Car, let’s go quickly to the awards.
Before searching for all the cars that deserve the title of the best car of the year, I used to think that cars with big names and brands that do not compete, but the truth is that I found cars that won many titles belonging to a manufacturer that is not the most prominent among the auto giants, although the cars of the well-made Seat company But I did not imagine her victory, and the strangest thing was also the competition of a number of Fiat cars for titles and prizes that we did not expect .. But because our choices are always documented and reasoned, let us go on this tour among the cars that won the title of Car of the Year 2021.
Award: Best SUV Large SUV
Conditions of the competition : A spacious interior is a prerequisite for a car competing in this category, but also a sense of luxury, reasonable costs, comfort and first-class refinement…
Winning car: Kia Sorento 1.6 T-GDi Hybrid 2
The previous Kia Sorento was a very practical SUV with enough space for seven adults, and the latest model matched the requirements, and the third row of seats was more accommodating than competing cars such as the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Peugeot 5008 and Skoda Kodiaq.
the new car is a hybrid, combining fuel economy with relatively low emissions. This setting not only helps with efficiency;
Rather, the gasoline engine, electric motor and automatic gearbox work very well together, providing smooth progression and powerful performance.
Comfort was another trait that set the Sorento apart, especially in the entry-level segment, which has smaller wheels and sturdier tires that are more forgiving than the more expensive versions.
At the same time, it allows you to confidently orientate the car’s position on the country road with easy turns in the city.
While the Sorento’s interior was pleasantly well-appointed, with a higher driving position that gave a clearer view, all this combined with Kia’s unparalleled seven-year warranty, which is why the Sorento won the Large SUV Car of the Year award.
Award: Small SUV of the Year
Contest conditions: The small size of the small suv should not come at the expense of practicality and this should be reflected in lower operating costs.
The ride should also be comfortable,
The winning car: Ford Puma 1.0 Ecoboost Hybrid 155 Titanium
SUV class of trying too hard to be everything to everyone.
It’s compact yet functional, sporty, efficient, elegant and affordable… It’s rare for a car to really pack all these features, but the Ford Puma did.
That’s why it won Best Car in its Class for 2020, and remains our pick for the small SUV segment, retaining the same title for a second year, despite an influx of new entrants, including the latest Renault Captur.
The Puma not only excels in maneuverability, it is also reasonably comfortable, equipped with the best engines, and features mild hybrid technology that delivers impressive efficiency as well as performance.
Although it is a small SUV, it is spacious.
Ease of use is what makes the Puma surprisingly practical.
Yes, there are some alternatives that excel in certain disciplines, such as the hugely spacious Skoda Kamik, and the elegant Suzuki Ignis, but the Puma is the most distinguished.
Award: Best luxury SUV
Contest conditions: Most luxury SUVs have a large design.
However, the best support of this exquisite interior design requires that you provide comfort and superior quality.
In addition to being characterized by speed as much as it is characterized by calm…
Winning car: BMW X5 xDrive45e M Sport
BMW is back at making great PHEVs, and of course the X5 is no exception.
Helped by a smooth V6 petrol engine, also powered by an electric motor powered by a 24 kWh battery, they together provide the driving experience befitting a luxury SUV.
It delivers near-silent electric power for an astounding 54 miles, along with far better gasoline economy than competitors in its class.
As long as you keep the battery basically full.
It doesn’t mean you have to take short electric trips.
But it also means that the X5 falls into a very low tax bracket (6%), which makes it much cheaper to run than any competitive luxury SUV powered by gasoline or diesel.
The Audi Q7 55 TFSIe was the centerpiece of its closest competitor, but only covers 27 miles of electric range.
In addition to the advantages of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV),
the X5 has gained the advantage of a luxurious balance of driving and smooth handling , and the luxurious interior and infotainment system is distinguished, and it is clear that this is not just a special hybrid electric car, but an SUV A special luxury that holds the title of best car in its class this year.
Award: Best Family SUV
Conditions of the competition: It is clear that cars in this category should provide enough space for families.
However, it is better to provide a comfortable ride and tidy handling while blending performance at a cost-effectiveness for your wallet…
Winning car: Volvo XC40 T3 R-Design auto
Volvo’s XC40
family SUV is just as stylish on the inside as the Range Rover Evoque, yet more reliable.
It is also as spacious as the Skoda Karoq, and on top of that it is the best for driving .
It is also competitively priced compared to its main competitors, and the XC40 has snagged the title of this category by combining the best features of the other competitors in one package.
In addition to the exceptional standard safety kit, traffic sign recognition and an intervention system if you switch to a lane with oncoming traffic.
Our favorite, Volvo’s 1.5-liter petrol engine has plenty of nibs to satisfy most buyers’ needs, while the sporty R-Design trim, with its leather trim, privacy glass and even ambient interior lighting, won’t leave you needing a kit or extras.
The biggest boon, however, is that the R-Design cars get a sporty suspension that makes the ride extremely comfortable and handling more poised than other XC40s.
As a family SUV, it has a level of versatility that the Swiss Army can be proud of.
Award: Best Plug-in Hybrid
Contest conditions: The best plug-in hybrid cars offer a long mileage of electricity, which reduces fuel consumption, emissions and tax bills.
However, it still has to provide leadership well, and of course not compromise on practicality…
Winning car: Skoda Octavia Estate 1.4 TSI iV SE Technology
As a leading brand, the
Skoda Octavia Estate proves that a little goes a long way.
But we are talking here about money and gasoline. Yet the car can still sprint from 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds – as a result of linking its interior with those of the Volkswagen Golf GTE sports platform.
The iV is one of the Octavia’s most expensive models, but it’s still one of the cheapest plug-in hybrids on the market, and for many, it’s an investment that pays off.
Official fuel economy figures of 82.5 mpg show what’s possible if you take a lot of short trips, while they give you an official electric range of 41 miles, plus CO2 emissions of 31 g/km allowing the Octavia down to a very low interest rate of 6%.
You also get the usual Octavia extras, including plenty of standard equipment (among its features, the SE Technology package gives you a digital instrument panel, all-round parking sensors and a 10.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with satellite navigation). industrial) with an abundance of interior space.
Award: Best Large Electric Car
Award terms: Many large electric vehicles take the form of luxury SUVs, but whatever their taste, range, comfort, performance, practicality and your only means of transportation…
Winning car: Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus
There are simply no benchmarks for electric cars, performance, price and technology, but the Tesla Model 3 looks very convincing for personal or commercial use, but the latest update confirmed that it will remain at the top of its category.
It comes with plenty of driver assistance features, but you’ll also get to enjoy the steering yourself, thanks to the precision it provides.
And although the long-range all-wheel drive version offers more traction, you’ll have to drive fast.
With an official range of 267 record miles, it
beats the Volkswagen ID.3, although it’s hardly more expensive than the high-spec versions of the German car. Like Tesla’s more expensive Model S and Model X, the Model 3 benefits from the brand’s unbeatable charging network, so expect long trips not to be a bother.
Plus, you’ll pay an extra £6,500 for the extra Long Range motor and the bigger battery, and you can buy a lot more kilos for that.
Combine that with plenty of space inside, and plenty of luxury, all of which makes the Tesla Model 3 an entirely reasonable and desirable option and propels it to the title of Electric Car of the Year.
Award: Best Performance Car
Conditions of the competition: First of all, a performance car must be fun and comfortable to drive, and unlike a pure sports car, it must be functional and comfortable enough to be used every day…
Winning car: Porsche Taycan 4S
Some may see this award for an electric car as a setback, but
the Porsche Taycan is proof that such cars can be as rewarding and usable as the best competitors of gasoline cars, followed by others.
With a smooth ride, a great interior and a respectable official range of 252 miles, the Taycan is comfortable for four adults and remarkably easy to use every day.
And for those who want to take longer distances, there’s also a larger battery option that increases range to 287 miles.
The standard Porsche Taycan 4S can accelerate from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.0 seconds, and either the Turbo or Turbo S versions are the most powerful and fastest.
Sure, some versions of the Tesla Model S can accelerate more aggressively, but it’s no dynamic match for the Taycan, which has exceptionally precise, tactile steering and impressive cornering stability.
Its brakes are brutal, too.
Some may lament the lack of a loud soundtrack in it like riding a BMW M5 or Mercedes-AMG E63, but most people will be so impressed with the way the Taycan is that they won’t pass up the opportunity.
And if that’s what the high-performance cars of the future will be, we’ll never complain.
Award: Best Estate Car
Contest conditions: While the real estate lacks the modernity of an SUV, it should be more practical.
The real estate car should also be fun to spend time in, easy to live in beyond the possibilities of spaceships…
Winning car: Skoda Superb Estate 2.0 TDI 150 SE L
The Skoda Superb does everything you would expect from an Estate and has more.
The 660-liter boot is massive, and what’s more, those handy touches like bag hooks, a 12V charging port and even a rechargeable torch all make a big difference in everyday use.
The “useful and spacious” look continues through the rest of the cool accents.
Rear passengers get more legroom than you’d expect, and taller drivers at the front will be comfortable, thanks to the heated, electrically adjustable driver’s seat.
On top of that, there’s an intuitive touchscreen display (with satellite navigation, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay) with an interior that’s never out of date and still feels smart and solid.
The Superb is smooth and reassuring to drive, whichever engine you choose from among the many.
There are versions to suit everyone, from a plug-in hybrid to a high-powered all-wheel drive, but the happiest is that version with the powerful, improved and economical 2.0-liter diesel engine.
Prize: Family Car
Contest Rules: There are several types of family cars, but here we are looking at traditional hatchbacks that are large enough to be practical, yet compact enough to be easy and fun to drive…
Winning car: Seat Leon 1.5 TSI 130 Evo FR
Among strong competitors from family hatchbacks such as the BMW 1 Series, Ford Focus and Skoda Scala, the car has to really stand out to top it.
And the last Seat Leon is exactly this one. The Seat Leon is just as smart as the more expensive Volkswagen Golf inside, while its infotainment system is more user-friendly than that of Volkswagen and comes standard equipment.
For the standard version, you get premium basics at a very good price by offering a large trunk and more rear seat passenger space than the Skoda Octavia.
With a powerful 1.5L petrol engine, fitted with a turbocharger, we recommend it and certainly won’t put too much pressure on your operating expenses.
The Leon is great to drive too, with lively handling that makes every ride a pleasure, and all this plus is an SUV that truly excels as a family car and offers a welcome slice of fun at the same time, all for less than you think.
No wonder he’s a winner.
Award: Best Hot Hatch
Contest conditions: You must support hot or powerful hatchbacks with engines that make you feel magical, even if they are normal engines.
However, this ability should not come at the expense of entertainment or at the expense of everyday usability…
The winning car: Toyota GR Yaris 1.6 Circuit Pack
It shares its name with the Toyota Yaris hatchback, so don’t be fooled by the name, as it is different from that five-door car;
The GR Yaris is a truly special car.
The GR Yaris was designed by Toyota’s racing arm, Toyota’s racing division known as Gazoo Racing (hence the name GR), to meet World Rally Championship (WRC) regulations which state that any racing car must have an analogue that uses Legally on the streets, it can be purchased at showrooms.
The car looks specifically designed to handle the modern road known as the Road B. Thanks to its compact dimensions, four-wheel drive traction and engine firecrackers,
The GR’s top performance can be reached as easily as the Ford Fiesta ST, its power now intimidating a purebred sports car.
I agree with you that a Honda Civic Type R is 1/10 faster on the track, but the GR ammo in cornering is 3D;
The GR-Four’s intelligent all-wheel drive system lets you explore frontiers with ease and at road speeds.
Award: Best MPV Car
Contest conditions: The MPV is a multi-purpose vehicle.
MPVs are also sometimes called “person carriers,” perhaps a more accurate name.
It takes into account the characteristics of the passenger body, especially the taller ones, has the largest interior space as possible and should often contain more seats.
It should excite those who value space and versatility more than style, and the fact that MPVs sell great.
Here we are looking for a car that is fun to drive and spend time in, as well as good value and practicality in the literal sense of the word…
The winning car: Volkswagen Touran 1.5 TSI 150 SE
Two years ago, Citroen Berlingo abandoned the center stage of the Volkswagen Touran to become our favorite MPV, a title it held last year.
The car battle was raging, and Citroen rose to the top for good reason.
The main advantage of the Citroen Berlingo was the financial advantage, it was cheaper, maybe still is, but the Touran is back on top, and the Touran now costs less with a PCP bank financing deal.
The Touran’s flexibility is also matched by larger alternatives such as the Ford Galaxy, with the three center-row seats sliding independently.
And despite being a more compact car, it still can unusually accommodate adults in all three rows, and you also get Isofix child seat fittings on all five rear seats, so the Touran comes loaded with plenty of features, and is especially good for larger families. who have young children.
Moreover, the Touran looks a lot like a regular hatchback when you get behind the wheel, thanks to the regulated control and agile driving.
That’s why we say yes, it exists to offer an abundance of functionality and space.
Award: Best SUV Coupe SUV
Contest conditions: Like traditional coupes, sports coupes should have a stylish appearance, but this style should not come at the expense of a lot of practicality, while quality, comfort and handling are also important…
Winning car: BMW X6 xDrive30d M Sport
It’s rare to find a truly ‘unique’ car, but when it was launched in 2008, the BMW X6 was the world’s never before seen a car that combined the proportions of a large SUV and the sloping roofline of a sports coupe.
Without the X6, it would have been doubtful that this class would even exist.
However, the latest 2021 Coupé SUV doesn’t win based on history, but because it moves the game again.
The question is how?
However, you don’t pay for that calm with a punishing trip that hits your pocket.
The X6 also delivers impressive performance, no matter which engine you choose, but we’re especially keen to recommend you the impressively smooth and very economical 30D diesel engine.
Meanwhile, I’m happy to tell you that the interior is as user-friendly as it is beautifully built, and the X6 is equipped with an infotainment system that puts it above all other systems found in all competitors.
You also get ample rear space, as long as you avoid the optional panoramic Sky Lounge sunroof.
Award: Best “Practical” Executive Car
Contest conditions: A Class A Executive Car has to do it all, be fuel efficient and stylish.
Rather, it enables buyers who want effortless long-distance portability, a comfortable and stylish interior, and low in-kind tax rates…
Winning car: BMW 3 Series 330e M Sport (M Sport Pro Package)
The BMW 3 Series has been winning accolades for generations and until now, it has been constantly refined and evolving more and more, and this iteration has proven to be a successful formula for irresistible luster and shine.
Attention to driver engagement and driving ease have always been key to the allure of the 3 Series, and the latest model remains beautifully balanced, responsive and above all fun.
And if you add the optional adaptive suspension (part of the M Sport Pro package), you get a smooth ride, with the option to mount the car on the country road at the touch of a button.
As always, there is a wide range of petrol engines, with the fast, long-range M340i at the fore, and the M3 version featuring this new super saloon.
On the other hand, diesel lovers have a lot of options with regard to diesel engines, and they have proven highly efficient and cost-effective. The 320d diesel engine can achieve 47.2 mpg in our True MPG tests, and there is a model with an engine called the M340d that has the speed and some even described it as an engine With a taste of speed.
Award: Best Sports SUV
Contest conditions: If you really want to drive a sports car but can’t compromise on practicality, the Sports SUV is just the ticket for your desires.
The best is driving pleasure and not just driving, but driving with sparkling, graceful, and entertaining pace…
Winning car: Ford Puma ST 1.5 Ecoboost 200 Performance Pack
To date, the purchase of an SUV has required significant expenditures.
Even a Volkswagen T-Roc R costs close to £40,000, before you even consider the list of options.
You can get a fairly powerful SUV for less, but nothing beats driving pleasure, and insurance systems have changed that process so you can enjoy this Ford Puma ST;
With the recommended performance package at a monthly premium of less than £400 per month in a PCP bank financing deal.
The fuel economy and CO2 emissions are good too, but the numbers are only half the story, as the Puma shares its turbocharged three-cylinder engine and six-speed gearbox with the impressive Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, that doesn’t mean the Puma only drives its front wheels, but if you’ve ever thought of taking it off-road?
This helps her transform herself into a real featherweight that pays off in corners and turns.
It’s great in corners and even the mighty Porsche Cayenne should bow out in homage to the Puma’s impressive agility, while driver engagement and less aggressive acceleration mean there’s much more opportunity to enjoy it on the road.
If you want to enjoy an SUV, you can’t buy a better Ford Puma.
Award: Best Coupé Car
Conditions of the Contest: The assessment of a good coupe is not just about elegance.
Rather, good performance, lightness and strength are conditions that you must have, and they must make you feel well whether you are enjoying a great and good road or enduring a terrible journey…
Winning car: BMW 4 Series 420i M Sport (M Sport Pro Package)
The 4 Series from the German manufacturer BMW 4 Series is back to be a fast version, albeit less practical in the car’s scale, but more expensive than the 3 Series with an executive saloon, which may leave you feeling that you are paying more for less value, but the matter is different in the new 4 Series.
Yes, it varies, you only have to take one look and you will find an exciting car and find yourself interacting with this powerful design, and you will definitely love what is underneath.
Compared to the 3 Series, the 4 Series has a wider rear end, a stiffer chassis and a lower center of gravity, which helps make this car one of the most rewarding driver’s cars in its class, much better than direct competitors such as the Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class Coupe.
Combined with adaptive suspension in the M Sport Pro Package, it’s comfortable enough to take the stress out of commuting, and it’s always on the lookout for driving pleasure.
Although the entry-level 420i needs revving up relatively, that fits with the coupe’s sporty character.
The interior is also perfect for any mood, with supportive seats that provide a great view of the easy-to-use infotainment screen.
It’s a perfectly balanced look at the dual nature of a world-class sports coupe.
Award: Sports Car of the Year
Contest Rules: More than any other car to be the best sports car, sports cars need to impress you.
But acceleration is important, and even more important is versatility and the feel of it through corners.
Sports cars are often two-seater and may have rear seats…
Winning car: Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0
It would be easy to describe the Cayman as the poorest man compared to a 911. It can really be bought for less than half the money, and you would think it would be half a car, so you would think, right?
In fact, this is far from the truth.
I think the cheapest Porsche is the best sports car on the planet.
Her cornering skills are made by cars from the same make, and her ability to do so-called ballistic cornering makes you feel positive.
Although, I should warn you that you need to choose the newly launched GTS version to experience the Cayman at its best.
Cheaper versions are a good way to get around price curves, but the operation is spoiled by a slick four-cylinder engine in some versions, but the GTS gets a nice 4.0-liter V6, so it looks good enough to make it the best sports car of the year.
The competition wasn’t exactly weak either.
The mighty Alpine A110, which has won this award over the past two years, battled it out over value and price, not least because of the low price tag, which won the Cayman GTS the Sports Car of the Year award.
Prize: Best Pick-up
Contest terms: These days buyers expect a car that they enjoy driving and see themselves in, rather than just something that does the job.
Of course, the pickup is still a working horse first and foremost…
Winning car: Ford Ranger Double Cab 2.0 Ecoblue 213 Wildtrak auto
Understandably, there are a lot of pickup drivers who want a car with all the comforts and luxuries of a modern, high-quality vehicle.
Pickups are often mobile offices as well as transportation, and if you’re looking for the ultimate in the comfort of your truck, the Ford Ranger is the best.
The full-size rear doors and spacious three-seater rear seat in the double cab version make the model great for family or co-workers, and the Ranger is the best quality pickup to drive.
The ride comfort, engine options, and a version with a high-powered 2.0-liter diesel engine and 10-speed automatic gearbox give it great performance and efficiency.
The Ranger doesn’t disappoint when it comes to loading capacity either.
A Ford Ranger can carry 1,024 kg in its trunk, and it can tow up to 3,500 kg. Yes, competition cars like the Ssangyong Musso might do the same, but the Ranger is still better to drive and live in.
It has all the functionality to make it a great choice, but the savings are over for real convenience and ease of use.
Award: Best Convertible Car
Obviously a good convertible will make you fun to drive, but we’re looking for a car that also offers fun driving and a four-seater interior that makes you feel special…
Winning car: Fiat 500 Cabrio Icon
The new Fiat 500 Cabrio is all-electric, and that makes it the first battery-powered convertible of the year award – an undoubted sign of modernity.
But please never doubt that she wins this award just because her electric energy permeates the zeitgeist.
The way the Carbon can navigate smoothly and almost completely silently certainly gives it a trump card no other convertible can match, as well as the same charisma in a beautiful interior and the fact that the 500 Cabrio is just as good to drive as a hatchback – qualities that rarely come together in one car. .
The Cabrio can also travel longer distances at a better cost than electric rivals such as the Honda E and Mini Electric, but they don’t have the added appeal of a convertible roof.
In fact, the Carbon Icon is equipped and designed to make it our favorite. Climate control, cruise control and a large touchscreen infotainment system are standard on all trims.
The 500 Cabrio doesn’t shiver or rock along rough roads the way you do during your rides in the Mini Convertible, and the Cabrio moves in its own way, refined just like the Lexus LC Convertible.
Plus it is of course more environmentally friendly than both.
The title of best convertible car deserves to be a convertible.
Award: Luxury Car of the Year
Contest conditions: A luxury car obviously needs premium materials, ride comfort that deserves the title of magic carpet, and it must have an ultra-smooth engine.
But models aimed at corporate car drivers also need to offer low CO2 emissions…
Winning car: BMW 5 Series 530e M Sport (M Sport Pro Package)
The 5 Series was our best luxury sedan in 2017, and thanks to a recent update, it still holds the title of the best luxury saloon you can buy.
Yes, there may be faster and richer options, but the 530e we recommend can still break 0-62mph in under six seconds, while its beautiful interior makes you doubt you need to spend more. .
As a plug-in hybrid with an official electric range of 37 miles, the 530e can complete many trips without ever having to wake up its engine.
Even when the 2.0-liter petrol unit ignites, the car is quiet enough to make some limousines feel shame.
Perhaps the other advantage of the 530e being a plug-in hybrid is that it’s much cheaper than the petrol and diesel alternatives if you’re running it as a company car.
However, it is more pleasant to drive than direct competitors such as the Audi A6 50 TFSIe and Mercedes E300e.
Simply pair it with adaptive suspension (part of the optional M Sport Pro package) to get the best ride, and the 530 becomes truly the Luxury Package
