The representative of the Swedish brand won the award in this competition for the first time. The car received 325 points and confidently overtook its competitors — the Seat Ibiza hatchback (242 points) and the BMW 5 Series sedan (226 points).
The decision was made by a jury consisting of 58 automotive experts from 22 European countries.
It is worth noting that last year the title of "Car of the Year" went to the Peugeot 3008 crossover.
