For the first time since 1996, the same automaker won the awards for two consecutive years.
During the ceremony at the beginning of the Brussels International Automobile Exhibition of 2025, 60 members of the Jury of the Prize of the Year were a judgment by choosing the best car in the European vehicle market.
The winner was identified by Renault 5 and his version of the Alpine A290 sport, which exceeds six other final applicants: Alfra Romeo Junior, Citroen C3/YO-C3, Cupra Terramar, Dacia Duster, Hyundai Inster and Kia EV3. The current competition is more competitive than ever before, as all finalist models have electrified functions, most of which are 100% electric.
For Renault, this is the second success in a row – last year’s reward won the Renault scenic. The last time this happened in 1995 and 1996, when Fiat Point and Fiat Bravo won.
