Countdown to the ceremony that will declare the winner of the prize on February 28th Car of the Year 2022. Also this year the event will take place without the concomitance of the Geneva Motor Show, the usual scene of the awaited initiative that rewards the car of the year in Europe with the GIMS, which again this year has been canceled due to the pandemic situation and the crisis affecting the automotive sector. In any case, the staff of the Swiss event will take care of the unfolding of the event, in collaboration with the jury made up of 61 sector journalists from 23 countries.
This is the 59th edition of the “The Car of the Year” award that has been awarded since 1964. The cars arrived at the last act are 7 and among these 6 are electric cars. The Cupra Born, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6, the Peugeot 308, the Renault Mégane E-Tech or the Škoda Enyaq iV. “The seven finalists reflect the impressive shift to electric drive that is currently being seen in the automotive industry”– said Frank Janssen, president of the jury for “The Car of the Year” – “We are so grateful to the team at the Geneva International Motor Show that we are still able to broadcast our voting ceremony virtually this year. Sure, we’d be delighted to be able to play in an in-person show next time, but the digital events we’ve organized over the past couple of years have also been very successful. That’s why it makes perfect sense for us to crown our winners once again in Geneva and pass on the jury’s vote count from there to the world. “
As CEO of the Geneva International Motor Show, Sandro Mesquita is well aware of the charm of “The Car of the Year” awards ceremony: “Over the past two years we have seen a great deal of interest in live streams. That is why, this year, we are doing everything possible to organize an exciting awards ceremony again. We are working hard to ensure that the next Geneva International Motor Show can take place in 2023“. The “The Car of the Year 2022” awards ceremony will be streamed live on the Geneva Motor Show website (www.gims.swiss) on Monday 28 February 2022, starting at 17:00.
