The world's most beautiful cars
Mercedes, on the other hand, clearly outperformed the following positions in the interior with a total of 25.4 percent, which is also occupied by Audi (15.0 percent) and BMW (14.3 percent).
- Of the ten vehicle categories, Audi wins three Autonis awards, more than any other brand.
- With the E-Tron GT, the brand wins the "top class" category (25.0 points).
- In the category "compact SUVs" the Q4 E-Tron prevails (15.4 points), in the category "Large SUVs" the E-Tron Sportback prevails (13.0 points).
- With the new C-Class, Mercedes holds its own in the "middle class" category (25.3 points).
VW wins two awards: With the Golf R the category "compact car" (25,4 points) and the new Multivan the category "Vans" (41,1 points).
The result in the category "small cars" is particularly exciting. Here the new Fabia from Škoda (25.8 points) wins with a clear distance in front of the Mini (20.4 points). Although the Mini has more positive reviews (37.1 points), the design of the small car from the BMW Group seems to polarize strongly, so that it also scored 16.7 negative points - far more than for the Fabia. This decision shows the selection mode of Autonis: The participants chose the two most beautiful models in each category, but also up to two models each, which they liked less.
In the "Minicars" category, the Toyota Yaris GR wins by a large margin (39.3 points). The victory is even clearer in two particularly emotional categories:
In the category "Convertibles", the Ferrari Portofino M (41.0 points) is the winner. The winner in the category "sports car" achieved the clearest lead of the entire readers' choice with 42.4 points: the Porsche 911 GT3. (room)
