The new voting system introduced this year required jury members to select their top 3 cars of each category in the initial round. To take their decision, the judges considered aspects such as on road competence, space and comfort, connectivity, safety, fuel economy, value for money plus style and design.
Cars that qualified were those launched from January to December of 2020. Several of the women motoring writers reported a last-minute ‘scramble’ to drive cars they hadn’t been able to test drive before the cut-off date. Judges now have until 19th February to drive any cars on the list they have not previously driven.
The winner in every category will be announced on the end of February. The Supreme Winner will be the one that collects the most votes and it will be released matching with the International Women’s Day.
Women’s World Car of the Year is the only car awards group in the world comprised exclusively by women motoring journalists. It was created by New Zealand motoring journalist, Sandy Myhre, in 2009. She is currently Honorary President while Marta García performs as Executive President.
The objective of the awards is to choose the best cars of the year. The voting criteria is based on the same principles that guide any driver when choosing a car. The selections are not ‘woman’s car’ because such categories do not exist. Aspects such as safety, quality, price, design, ease of driving, benefits and environmental footprint, among others, are taken into account when casting the votes.
