World Car Design of the Year

a) Jaguar I-PACE: We referred earlier to the spectacular design of the I-PACE. Obviously, we’re not alone in our opinion of this sublimely styled EV.

b) Suzuki Jimny: One of the finalists as World Urban Car makes a second appearance, this time for its winning design. We love looking at this car and wish we could look at it more often, on our own Canadian roads.

c) Volvo XC40: Of all the new Volvo products, the XC40 is probably the one with the most seductive appearance. We'll know in early April if it gets the most votes in the design category.
