In the vote for the "German Car of the Year" (GCOTY), the electric car prevailed over the competition from the other classes.
It is already the fifth time that an electric car has been crowned the winner in the “German Car of the Year” election.
In 2019, the Jaguar I-Pace sat down.
In 2020, the Porsche Taycan prevailed, followed by the Honda-e (2021).
Last year it was the Hyundai Ioniq in 5th place. The Genesis GV60 took second place, followed by the new Land Rover Range Rover.
