Alfa’s new flagship sedan. the Giulia, has won one of Germany’s most prestigious automotive awards.
The Golden Steering Wheel awards, presented by Auto Bild and Bild am Sonntag and voted for by their readers every year since 1976, honour the best cars of the year in each major market segment.
Alfa’s Giulia scooped the overall award for looks, but Jaguar also has reason to celebrate after winning in the ‘Saloon’ car category with the XF, beating the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class in the process.
Tesla failed to take home an award for its green car credentials, but it did cause a stir by winning the best SUV award with the Model X.
Elsewhere, Audi took home two prizes for best compact SUV (the Audi Q2), while its latest-generation A5 Coupé was declared the best sports car of 2016.
But the biggest surprise was BMW winning in the best electric/hybrid category for the i3 for the second time.
