Forget the European or World Car of the Year, these are the gongs that really matter: The Times and Sunday Times Motor Awards 2024. This website’s writers have joined forces with the our motoring colleagues at The Sunday Times Magazine, Times Luxx and The Sun to pick the best new models in categories from city cars to sports cars, family SUVs to hot hatches. Commended cars in this category:Renault Clio E-TechMini Cooper SESuzuki SwiftRenault 5Small SUV/ Crossover of the Year: Kia EV3Kia clearly knows how to do small cars. Happily, it also turned out to be one of the best cars of the year, too, receiving a five-star review from Will Dron. Its retro-modern looks are head-turning but it backs that up by being superb to drive and one of the best value electric cars now on the market and a range of up to around 255 miles.
