Swiss Car of the Year: Genesis and Škoda on the podium
THE POINTS ARE AWARDED Switzerland has chosen the cars of the year. A newcomer and a favorite Swiss brand are the winners this year. A total of over 28,000 votes were cast.
The twelve-member jury of experts awarded the all-electric Genesis GV60 (gallery right) the coveted title of Swiss Car of the Year 2023 in the specialist poll. In the representative vote conducted in all parts of the country by Schweizer Illustrierte and AutoScout24, another electric SUV, the Škoda Enyaq Coupé RS iV (gallery left), won the trophy in the public vote.
Public vote with over 28,000 votes
For the twelfth time, Schweizer Illustrierte, together with its partners AutoScout24, Panolin, Blick, SonntagsBlick, L'illustré and La Domenica, searched for the Swiss Car of the Year. There were two categories: a jury of Swiss experts and a public vote, with first, second and third place being awarded in each category. With over 28,000 votes cast in the nationwide public vote, the number of participants matched the previous year's level.
Experts chose the electric SUV from Korea
In addition to the jury president, ex-Sauber team boss and e-sports entrepreneur Monisha Kaltenborn, the twelve-member expert jury included trade journalists, environmental experts and technology specialists. Among others, the jury included Swiss ex-F1 driver and TV presenter Marc Surer. They chose the Genesis GV60 electric SUV from Korea as their Swiss Car of the Year.
Favorite of the Swiss made the race
Switzerland's largest cross-language car jury, consisting of readers and users from Schweizer Illustrierte, AutoScout24, Blick, SonntagsBlick, L'illustré and La Domenica, chose their favorite from exactly 50 new models. In the end, 6.8 percent chose a favorite of the Swiss, the Škoda Enyaq Coupé RS iV - and thus the coupé version of last year's winner, which was launched this year with a new all-wheel drive system and a sporty 299 hp.
