In April 2020, the organizers of the 2020 World Car Awards have announced their winners. Both overall and category winning cars virtually took their trophies as the current COVID-19 pandemic has caused all events to close or be postponed.
Overall 2020 World Car Awards winner
This year, Kia Motor Corporation took the crown with the overall World Car of the Year with their Telluride. It’s a large SUV with a lot of space and a lot of quality. Powered by a 3.8-litre engine that gives 217kW and 355Nm, it took its prize with force. 
Urban Car
The story doesn’t end there for Kia as they took a double victory. The snazzy Kia Soul EV took the 2020 World Urban Car Award. There’s no surprise that an EV would take this award but the Kia Soul EV takes it with more than just its fuel-saving, zero-emission electric engine. Capable of reaching 480 km, it will suite day to day travel easily and It will charge to 80% in just 40 minutes using a fast charger.
