Jaguar I-Pace awarded in New York "World Car of the Year" 2019

The "Road to the World Car Awards" journey concluded Wednesday with a awards ceremony that opened the New York International Auto Show.

The Jaguar I-Pace was a triple winner in three award categories: "World Car of the Year", "World Green Car" and the 2019 "World Car Design of the Year".

Audi A7 Sportback was awarded as World Luxury Car, Suzuki Jimny is the World Urban Car 2019 while the McLaren 720S is World Performance Car of the year.

This is the first time in the World Car Awards’ 15-year history that one-car has achieved a win across three categories; the second that one company has achieved a triple-win. Mercedes-Benz previously attained this honour in 2015.

The Road To the World Car Awards doesn’t really stop. From May 16-19 the World Car Garage will be staged for the fourth year at the London Motor Tech Show; offering a glimpse of the 2020 contenders as well as celebrating the 2019 winners.
