Note: The 2022 list of eligible vehicles is provisional based on information available at this time.
The list may be updated until December 1, 2021 when it becomes final and no further changes can be made.

World Car of the Year: Vehicles eligible for World Car of the Year must be produced in volumes of at least 10,000 units/year, must be priced below the luxury-car level in their primary markets, and must be “on-sale” in at least two major markets (China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Latin America, USA) on at least two separate continents within the period January 1, 2021 and March 30, 2022.
Multi-category Entries: Vehicles in the World Performance Car, World Urban Car, World Electric Vehicle and World Car Design of the Year categories may also be contenders in the overall “World Car of the Year” class or "World Luxury Car" class, depending on type and pricing.
All vehicles eligible for other World Car award categories are automatically eligible for World Car Design of the Year.
