According to the definition of the Dictionary of the Spanish language (DLE) the ego is "Excess of self-esteem". Well, this is what they must be feeling Senior managers of Hyundai Motor Group. Yes, because after presenting his candidacy to the World Car Awards they have devastated In fact, they have done it with the first model that they have developed from scratch as pure electric. As you know, we refer to Hyundai IONIQ 5, not the Ioniq…
If you do a little memory, a few weeks ago we presented the list of finalist models. The organization presented it and announced that in the New York Auto Show the name of the winner would be made public, as every year. Well, the official appointment has arrived and they have complied by communicating to the whole world which models have been made with the prizes in the different categories. And watch out, because something unique has happened: the Hyundai IONIQ 5 makes a hat trick...
In addition to the World Car of the Year, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 has won the World Electric Vehicle of the Year and the World Car Design
Yes, you read that right: the South Korean model has won three awards. And be careful, because they are not minor prizes and more so if the first is about the World Car of the Year 2022. In this way it relieves the Volkswagen ID.4 that he won last year 2021. Therefore, the IONIQ 5 has been planted before the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Let's EV6. What's more, the second is his technical clone, so if he has prevailed, it has had to be for very different reasons...
Second, the South Korean model has won the World Electric Vehicle Award by beating the Audi E-Tron GT and Mercedes-Benz EQS. In this way, it makes it clear to the whole world that in terms of technology at Hyundai they know how to do things very well. Lastly, it has also shone in the World Car Design category that was disputed with the Audi E-Tron GT and, again, its cousin Kia EV6. However, the most important is the World Car of the Year…
Taking into account that there are six categories and in three of them the Hyundai IONIQ 5 has shone, the rest of the awards have been widely distributed. The World Urban Car has gone to the Toyota yaris cross, one of the B-SUVs that is called to break the market. For its part, the award World Luxury Car, as planned, has been for the Mercedes Benz EQS and, finally, the World Performance Car has been for the Audi E-tron GT.
