EcoCar Electrified Awards - Rundown of Winners

As such, they claim every winner “has won because it is truly the best in the segment.”

So, with that said, let’s take a look at the prestigious winners.

EcoCar Award 2022 WINNERS

Skoda’s going to have to upgrade the size of its mantlepiece if they collect many more awards. The brilliant Skoda Enyaq iV continues to be a sure winner for the manufacturer, scooping up three of the most sought-after titles.

  • Best electric medium SUV
  • Best electric car 2022
  • EcoCar Electrified Car of the Year 2022

SUVs

Continuing with all-electric SUVs, the best luxury SUV went to the market leading BMW iX. A jewel in the German automaker’s crown, the BMW iX is the last word in high-end electric motoring, a well-deserved win.

Best compact-SUV went to the Peugeot e-2008. The increasingly popular EV is a great choice for those who want the taller ride-height without compromising on a sporty feel. We recently took the Peugeot e-2008 out for a full test drive, read our review here.

Small cars

For those looking for a more practical, nippy EV - the EcoCar awards hailed a numerous amount of cars on the more compact end.

Best electric hot hatch went to the brand new Cupra Born. This all-electric rocket from performance brand Cupra is one of the best deals if you’re looking for an eco way to go very quickly.

Chalk another one up for French automaker Peugeot, its compact e-208 won best small electric car. Smaller sibling of the e-2008, the hatchback iteration takes the same great driving experience and puts it into a more compact body.

The best electric city car goes to the segment leading Fiat 500e. As stylish as it is practical, this nippy car is built to dominate the busy city streets.

Family cars

If you’re looking for a bit more space to fit the family, the following three EVs are the perfect choice. Best electric crossover vehicle went to the absolutely brilliant Hyundai IONIQ 5. It may be divisive when it comes to the design, but there’s no denying the underpinnings of the Hyundai are class-leading.

Another French automaker taking home a gong is Citroen. Their e-C4 was awarded the best electric medium car. Best electric medium estate car went to the MG 5, exploiting the its place as one of the only estate cars available on the market.

A class of its own…

Porsche Taycan took home best luxury car. Long heralded as the pinnacle of electric vehicle technology, the German automaker added another trophy to its cabinet.
