The World Car Awards (WCA) is a program created and implemented by automotive journalists from all over the world. These journalists deliberate and decide which vehicles are worthy of awards in the categories of luxury, performance, design, urban appeal, green technology, and overall quality. Dedicated to ensuring that this competition is carried out with the utmost objectivity, credibility, and integrity, the WCA draws on the experience and expertise already developed by various other award programs throughout the world.
