Female motoring writers from 15 countries, including nine based in Europe have just awarded the all new Honda Jazz, ‘Women’s World Car Of The Year’.
The award considered ten different criteria including design and function, style and appeal, comfort, storage, and drive quality. Additionally, specific to these awards, other elements considered by the judging panel included the ‘wow’ factor, sex appeal and value for money; factors which all of the judges felt to be important to female car buyers. Now in their fifth year, the awards, organized by New Zealand’s Women’s World magazine, recognize the best cars in six categories including best family car, sports car, luxury car, SUV, green car and budget car.
This year, the overall prize was awarded to new Honda Jazz. The recently launched generation is sold with a i-VTEC petrol engine or Honda’s super-efficient hybrid IMA technology.
Sandy Myhre, CEO and founder of the Women’s World Car of the Year comments: “Honda can be very proud of this achievement. It is very difficult for any car to be on our shortlist, women motoring writers are very discerning and to win a category is a significant accolade.”
