Car of the Year-2023: why on earth the electric jeep became the car of the year
The European Car of the Year is no longer nominated in Geneva, but in Brussels, as the Swiss have become a tourist ticket for a trip to Qatar since this year. After surviving a century in Europe and pausing for world wars, the Geneva Motor Show couldn’t handle the pandemic and shut down, selling a trademark to a country known only to Al Jazeera.

The idea of ​​nominating the best European car was a commercial project of the editors-in-chief of the automobile publications of the Old World. Directly no one took money and did not offer, but international authorities were sold openly and willingly. Therefore, the cars designated by them were not always the best, and sometimes they were even reasonable and disposable, which remained in memory only thanks to the competition.

The most illustrative example of the worthlessness of the car of the year award dates back to 1975, when the authorities did not assign first place to the car that became the name of the entire class – Volkswagen Golf. Taking second place among the editors-in-chief, she gave the pedestal to a vehicle that cannot be remembered without prompts – Citroën CX.

This year, experts went to the Brussels Motor Show, where they played their usual meaning. But they did not award first, second and third places and gave nominations for the position of the best cars to some “electric trains”. They got the best set of batteries with wheels in the Jeep Avenger, slightly worse batteries and wheels in the Volkswagen ID.Buzz, and the Nissan Ariya came in third.

The one and only car – the Peugeot 408 – took only fifth place at the prestigious motor show. And the Vedas are really a very interesting model. And although it is somewhat spoiled by two possible hybrids, the French are still focused on traditional values ​​and have included a modification with a 1.2 Turbo petrol engine with 130 hp in the range. Of.

Combined with excellent design, comfortable interior, ergonomics and brand virtues, the car is worth it. But her place is not the fifth, but the first, which the editors-in-chief did not tell anyone about, which means that the Car of the Year election goes even further than Qatar.
