The Ioniq 6 won the World Car of the Year Award for 2023, becoming Hyundai the first automaker to do it twice in a succession. It was won in 2022 by the Ioniq 5 together with two other categories. The World Car Design of the Year and World Electric Vehicle Awards went to the Ioniq 6 once more, repeating earlier victories.

One of three candidates for the COTY award, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 edged out the Kia Niro and BMW X1/iX1 for the top spot.

Jaehoon Chang, president and chief executive officer of Hyundai Motor Company, stated, “We are happy to win this distinguished honor two years in a row, which recognizes the amazing skills and unwavering efforts of everyone at Hyundai Motor Company to bring EVs like the Ioniq 6 to market.

The Lucid Air was named the World Luxury Car by the organization, defeating the BMW 7 Series and the Genesis G90 for the title. With more votes than the updated Nissan Z and the all-wheel-drive Toyota GR Corolla with its 300-horsepower 1.3-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, the Kia EV6 GT took home the title of World Performance Car.

The Kia has 576 horsepower available and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The Citroen C3 won the World Urban Car Award after competing against the Volkswagen Taigo/Nivus and the ORA Funky Cat/Haomao.
