Jaguar and Audi, with their I-PACE and e-tron models, will be ones to watch

World Green Car

a) Audi e-tron: Since it’s been chosen a finalist in the overall World Car of the Year category, it would have been pretty nonsensical not to find it here. Don’t bet it against it, is our advice.

b) Hyundai Nexo: Are you a believer in the future of hydrogen cars? Notwithstanding the allegiances, the Hyundai Nexo has gotten much positive reaction since its unveiling, and it’s now in a position to grab one of the most prestigious awards on the planet. A remarkable feat for a fledgling model and technology.

c) Jaguar I-Pace : Also a finalist in the overall World Car of the Year category. The I-PACE and the e-tron are engaged in a Batman-vs-Spiderman fight to the finish. Could the overall winner NOT win this award? More nonsensical possibilities!
