The award recognises excellence in design based on four basic principles of good design: the quality of function, the quality of seduction, the quality of use, and the quality of responsibility. The jury of 39 experts from all over the world selected the EX30 as the winner in a competitive field with a total score of 93/100.
The EX30 features a long wheelbase, large wheels and equal overhangs bring balance and refinement to the exterior. Use of natural and recycled materials in the car serve as a step towards our sustainability targets. Additionally, we utilised the space in the electric vehicle and created a centralised theme for everything from storage to controls and screens, resulting in a flexible space with premium proportions.
The EX30 was revealed last summer and has already won more than 20 major awards, including the prestiguous Car Design award 2024, established in 1984 by auto&design magazine. It has also recieved The Sun Car of the Year, World Urban Car from World Car of the Year, the Small SUV/Crossover of the Year award from the Sunday Times, and the Eco Warrior of the Year award from Top Gear magazine.
