Women’s World Car of the Year; Range Rover Evoque


The Women’s World Car of the Year (WWCOTY) has been announced: the Range Rover Evoque. If you’re wondering what Women’s World Car of the Year is, it was set up in 2009 to create an award specific to “the fastest growing consumer segment in the world and arguably the most influential.” That’s women. They are: safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child–friendliness, ease-of-driving, colour, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

So, the car that best satiates a woman’s desire for all those things in 2012 is the Evoque – a car that could only muster a design award in the official World Car of the Year contest, which was won overall by the VW Up.Here are the WWCOTY winners in full, including the runners up in each category:
