The tenth season of the National Award of Automotive Business Experts “TOP-5 AUTO” has ended today. The winners have been named, that is, the best cars still present on the Russian market. Maxim Gomyanin, columnist for the AvtoVzglyad portal and part-time jury member, shares which cars were among the frontrunners.
First of all, I would like to remind you that at the beginning of the vote a long list was drawn up, consisting of 89 cars, which after some time was reduced to five models in each of the categories. And from this list, the car market professionals chose the winners.
The Genesis G70 premium sedan won the Compact City Car nomination, outperforming popular models such as the Kia Ceed, Audi A3, Hyundai Elantra and Peugeot Partner Crossway.
The title of best “Large and luxury car” was won by the luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-class sedan. However, many did not expect a different result. And the competitors of the “German” were Kia Carnival, Lexus LS, restyled Toyota Camry, as well as thoroughbred “British” Jaguar XF.
A hot battle unfolded in the nomination “Compact crossover, SUV and all-terrain vehicle”. There are traditionally many strong rivals here, because ‘rogues’ are valued in our country. Here the first place went to the second generation Renault Duster. The “French” bypassed the Porsche Macan, Audi Q5, Genesis GV70 and Infiniti QX55.
Another interesting nomination is “Large Crossover/SUV”. Audi RS Q8, Land Rover Discovery, updated Skoda Kodiaq, as well as brutal “Americans” represented by Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Tahoe passed the selection here. But there can only be one winner. And they became Escalade.
Porcshe Taycan Cross Turismo took first place in the most “finger-like” nomination – “Sportwagen/Coupe/Roadster/Cabriolet”, closing the “tail” of the Audi RS6 and BMW M5. Finally, the experts in the nomination “Light Commercial Vehicle / Pickup” noted the Isuzu D-Max, which has only recently entered our market.
In addition, the journalists appreciated the work of manufacturers’ PR departments, as well as marketing departments. The constructions of Renault and AVTOVAZ became the best in their nominations and Nicolas Maure was named Car Person of the Year.
As for the main prize – Car of the Year, it was awarded to the Korean crossover Genesis GV70. So it’s too early to bury the auto industry in Russia, although it’s struggling right now.
