The new Nissan LEAF has achieved the highest honor of the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year, an international award given by 86 journalists.
The new Nissan LEAF has just won the highest distinction of the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year by being named “Supreme Winner 2026.” This award is particularly significant for a manufacturer, given both the quality of the competing models and the expertise of the jury that awards it.
Founded in 2009 by New Zealand journalist Sandy Myhre, the WWCOTY has established itself as a reference in the landscape of international automotive awards. Its originality lies in the composition of its jury: 86 automotive journalists from over 50 countries across five continents. This geographical and cultural diversity allows for the evaluation of vehicles from a global perspective, grounded in the real-world use of automobiles in daily life.
An award that is gaining prestige
The selection process relies on a thorough analysis of vehicles, far beyond just technical performance. The jurors evaluate safety, design, value for money, ease of use, and environmental impact. This approach favors models capable of meeting the real needs of drivers in their daily use.
In this 2026 edition, the new LEAF stood out among 55 competing vehicles. The jury praised a model that offers a mature vision of electric mobility, combining advanced technology, improved range, and ease of use.
For Nissan, this award carries a symbolic significance. Launched in 2010, the LEAF was one of the first mass-produced electric cars and has significantly contributed to the democratization of electric mobility worldwide. Now in its third generation, it continues this mission by offering a more modern design and technologies designed for everyday use.
