2021 World Performance Car
Porsche 911 Turbo
When you think of performance, you think Porsche. The 911 Turbo was chosen from an initial entry list of nine cars, and then a shortlist of three finalists were announced on March 30th. These were: Audi RS Q8, Porsche 911 Turbo and the Toyota GR Yaris.
With a 0-62mph time of 2.8 secs, 750 Nm of torque and a top speed of 199 mph – there has been no compromises for this sports car. Incredible performance has been matched with comfort to be fully suitable for everyday use. This is a big victory for Porsche.
2021 World Urban Car
Honda e
Before we mention how good the Honda e is… just look at it. It’s a thing of beauty.
Anyway, lets not get side-tracked. Honda has hit the ball out of the park with the e, producing something that drives, handles and rides well, looks a million dollars and, crucially, is an appealing car in its own right. The Honda e came out on top to beat the Honda Jazz/Fit and the Toyota Yaris.
2021 World Car of the Year
Volkswagen ID.4
The Road to the 2021 World Car Awards journey concluded with the declaration of the Volkswagen ID.4 as the 2021 World Car of the Year as voted by 93 distinguished international journalists from 28 countries that make up the World Car Awards jury panel.

The three finalists were: Honda e, Toyota Yaris and the Volkswagen ID.4. This is the fifth World Car of the Year win for Volkswagen AG.
