The What Car? Car of the Year 2022 award winners have been announced.
Ireland’s car market is arguably very similar to - albeit a much smaller market - than the UK’s. However, it is largely very similar when it comes to the availability of models and, in most cases, in regard to which cars are popular.
This year, the Kia EV6 fended off stiff competition from more than 20 other winners to be named the Car of the Year 2022. It was also named the best electric SUV available today.
