- Cars must be sold in at least two continents such as China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Latin America, the United States, from the period 1 January 2023 to 30 March 2024.
To become a candidate for the World Car Awards, the judges, apart from assessing the shape and design, must test it directly.
BYD Sets New Record
Of the many cars that have been launched and marketed throughout the world, the candidate that is considered to attract attention comes from the Build Your Dream brand, aka BYD. Yes, in this selection of the best cars, BYD contributed two models as the strongest candidates, namely the BYD Seal and BYD Dolphin.
