What Car? reveals its electric cars of the year
What Car? has revealed the winners of its 2023 Electric Car Awards, with the Volkswagen ID Buzz taking home the coveted Car of the Year award.
The judges noted: “There’s so much affection for the Buzz’s retro design that Volkswagen could easily have penny-pinched on the engineering and still sold as many as it could make.
“But instead, it has clearly thrown everything at the car, with this resulting in something that combines the practicality of an MPV with the comfort and refinement of a premium SUV and the potentially low running costs of an electric vehicle.”
The Buzz was also named Large Electric Car of the Year and Electric MPV of the Year.

Electric small car: Fiat 500 42kWh
