Volkswagen’s ID. Buzz takes top spot as What Car? Car of the Year

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz has been crowned Car of the Year at the annual What Car? awards.

What Car? editor Steve Huntingford, said: “The ID Buzz has been eagerly anticipated because of its nostalgic styling, but all of our judges were blown away by the fact it didn’t just live up to expectations but, in fact, was even better than the hype.

“This is a car that wins over your head as well as your heart and one that will bring huge amounts of joy to lucky buyers at a time when the costs and challenges of motoring are under greater pressure than ever.”

Other cars given awards included the Range Rover Sport – which was named best luxury car – while the MG 4 was crowned best small electric car. The Tesla Model 3 knocked the BMW 3 Series from its place as the best executive car, a role it has held for four years. The Genesis GV60 was also named as the best electric SUV.
