A highly respected team of 56 female motoring journalists from 40 countries spanning five continents reviewed the most prominent family-friendly SUVs to launch internationally during 2021, with the Sportage drawing praise across multiple areas to win the coveted award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The all-new Sportage joined 64 other contenders to be tested by the WWCOTY jury across six categories: \u2018Family SUV\u2019, \u2018Urban Model\u2019, \u2018Large Car\u2019, \u2018Luxury SUV\u2019, \u2018Performance Car\u2019 and \u20184&#215;4\u2019. The Sportage impressed judges with its blend of cutting-edge safety innovations, enjoyable driving experience, comfort features, state-of-the-art technology, stylish design, impressive efficiency, low environmental footprint, and strong value for money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Sportage\u2019s intelligent interior layout has resulted in class-leading legroom and headroom for family trips, while high-tech driving and convenience features ensure occupants will enjoy a comfortable and connected travelling experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fifth-generation Sportage is available globally with an extensive electrified model line-up that includes mild-hybrid (MHEV), hybrid (HEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains that offer excellent fuel economy, low emissions, and in the case of the PHEV variant, an electric driving range of up to 78km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WWCOTY jury will now test the all-new Sportage against the five other category winners before revealing the \u2018Best Car of the Year\u2019 on 8 March, International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/motorpress.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/motorpress.co.za\">https<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/motorpress.co.za\" target=\"_blank\">:\/\/motorpres<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/motorpress.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">s<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/motorpress.co.za\" target=\"_blank\">.co.za\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All-female jury announce the new-generation Kia Sportage as its favourite \u2018Family SUV\u2019 Safety, comfort, design, efficiency, value for money and enjoyable driving experience all marked out for particular praise Spacious interior layout has resulted in class-leading legroom and headroom for a comfortable travelling experience \u2018Best Car of the Year\u2019 to be announced on 8 March, &#8230; <a title=\"All-new Kia Sportage wins class category in Women&#8217;s World Car of the Year awards\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kiaautocity.co.za\/all-new-kia-sportage-wins-class-category-in-womens-world-car-of-the-year-awards\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about All-new Kia Sportage wins class category in Women&#8217;s World Car of the Year awards\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>All-new Kia Sportage wins class category in Women&#039;s World Car of the Year awards - AutoCity Kia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kiaautocity.co.za\/all-new-kia-sportage-wins-class-category-in-womens-world-car-of-the-year-awards\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"All-new Kia Sportage wins class category in Women&#039;s World Car of the Year awards - AutoCity Kia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"All-female jury announce the new-generation Kia Sportage as its favourite \u2018Family SUV\u2019 Safety, comfort, design, efficiency, value for money and enjoyable driving experience all marked out for particular praise Spacious interior layout has resulted in class-leading legroom and headroom for a comfortable travelling experience \u2018Best Car of the Year\u2019 to be announced on 8 March, ...
