Each year, when the New York International Auto Show gets cranked up at the Javits Center, one of the early highlights is the presentation for awards for excellence in design as determined by a jury of some 100 automotive journalists from 32 countries. This week, the electrified Hyundai IONIQ 6, which the firm calls an Electrified Streamliner, allowed Hyundai to sweep three major judged World Car Awards for the second consecutive years, after it broomed up the honors in 2022 with the foregoing IONIQ 5.
Specifically, the IONIQ 6 bulldozed its way to wins for World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle and World Car Design of the Year. Because of its juried judging, the NYIAS awards are considered some of the most legitimate, and most prominent, awards for design excellence in the global auto industry.
