The Kia Niro is Voted Women's World Car of the Year 2023
The 63 motoring journalists judging the Women's World Car of the Year have chosen the Kia Niro compact crossover as the World's Best Car for 2023.
The all-woman panel of 63 motoring journalists finally decided on the Women's World Car of the Year for 2023. We previously wrote an article on the winners of the various categories and now the panel has voted for the single best car out of the six shortlisted.
The announcement of the winner also coincides with International Women's Day, which is celebrated annually on the 8th of March. The six shortlisted cars were the Kia Niro (Best Urban Car), Jeep Avenger (Best Family SUV), Citroen C5 X (Best Large Car), Nissan X-Trail (Best Large SUV), Audi RS 3 (Best Performance Car) and the Ford Ranger (Best 4x4).
After much deliberation between the 63 women motoring journalists from 43 countries across five continents, the Kia Niro was crowned the 2023 Women's World Car of the Year. Here's what the judges had to say:
"The Kia Niro delivers a complete package that is clearly worthy of this award. Its numerous powertrain options, stylish design, easy-to-use technology, comfortable seating and budget-friendly packaging make it stand out among a field of fierce competition" - Elana Scherr, USA.
"Kia continues to impress me... After the EV 6 and Sportage models, the Kia Niro offers a flexible vehicle, an attractive design, quality/luxury and a range of engines where all drivers can match their mobility needs. I especially appreciate the comfortable space and the technology. A car that has everything to please..." - Sabrina Parant, Belgium.
"The Kia Niro offers a functional interior, good driving performance, and different powertrains, along with an attractive price that makes it an excellent choice for everyday driving" - Jil McIntosh, Canada.
"The new Kia Niro largely follows the same successful recipe as the old Niro with a choice of both a combustion engine (from hybrid to plug-in-hybrid) and fully electric car. Until its last year of production, the first Niro was an unprecedented success in the Netherlands. No model sold better. We were eagerly awaiting the new upgraded model which did not disappoint. It is smarter, more stylish, more modern, more efficient and slightly roomier" - Odiel Mennink, Netherlands.
"Kia Niro a practical little city car that gives you everything you need in an affordable package" - Renuka Kirpalani, India.
"The Kia Niro is a spacious, stylish, efficient and practical car that is right on trend with its size, design and drive" - Petra Muhr, Austria.
"One of the best hybrid vehicles with the best performance and dynamics" - Giovanna Alvarado, Peru.
"Spacious, practical, available with several eco-friendly powertrains (HEV, PHEV and BEV) with low consumption" - Solveig Grewe, Germany.
"A vehicle I would highly recommend to any man, woman or family due to its endless array of safety features, long warranty and spacious interior packed with modern technology. What mother or father wouldn't feel safe driving their children around in a Kia Niro" - Alix Capper-Murdoch, Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
