Range Rover Evoque proves ladies’ choice in WWCOTY

The Range Rover Evoque has strutted its way into the top spot of the 2012 Women's World Car of the Year awards, proving its wares against a list of female-focused criteria.


The Range Rover Evoque SUV was crowned Supreme Winner after accruing the highest number of votes from a judging panel comprising female motoring writers from 12 countries.

Divided into four categories - Family car, Luxury car, Sports car, and Economy car - the Women's World Car of the Year is based on a criteria of safety, value, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease of driving, colour, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

According to the WWCOTY website, “The winning car may not reach 0-100km/h in less than so many seconds or have eye-popping Newton metres of torque. But it will be a car that appeals very strongly to women.”

The Range Rover Evoque finished ahead of the BMW 3 Series and Audi Q3 in the overall standings, and pipped its fellow Brit the Jaguar XJ and the Audi A6 in the Luxury car category.

The BMW 3 Series and Audi Q3 finished in first and second place, respectively in Family cars, with the Ford Focus claiming third.

In Sports cars the Porsche 911 once again finished in a familiar position beating the Jaguar XKR and Mercedes-Benz SLK, while the Honda Civic took top position in Economy in front of the recently released Volkswagen Up! and small car staple the Ford Fiesta.
