The female jury of the Women’s World Car of the Year is announcing the Peugeot 308 takes the crown in the 2022 edition of the contest. A total of 56 women journalists covering the automotive industry from 40 countries across 5 continents voted this year and the winner is announced on the International Women's Day, “a very special date because it gives women a voice and because of the link in many countries between the automobile and personal autonomy.”
A total of 65 candidates were allowed to enter the competition this year, and in the first round of voting, the best cars in six categories were selected. The winners were announced on February 15 and the six winners were then used as a basis for the final vote. Only one car can be named Women’s World Car of the Year and the honor goes to the Peugeot 308. It turns out the final voting this year was “closer than ever,” Marta Garcia, executive president of WWCOTY, said.
