The Kia EV6 is the Car of the Year, which is an award that lets auto journalists from 23 European countries select the best new vehicle from the last 12 months. Because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the jury decided not to count the votes from the Russian delegates. In the announcement of this decision, the organizers said that these votes would not have changed the ranking of the winner or runner-ups.
The Kia EV6 won this year's award by scoring 279 points from the jurors. This beat the Renault Mégane E-Tech Electric with 265 points. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 finished third with 261 points. The other finalists were the Peugeot 308 with 191 points, Skoda Enyaq with 185 points, Ford Mustang Mach-E with 150 points, and Cupra Born with 144 points.
