6 cars that won a 'Car of the Year' award in 2019

Lamborghini Urus

Robb Report claims the first super-SUV is a "class-defying breed" because of its six drive modes and aerodynamically optimized drive and handling, according to Robb Report.

"The power and strength of the Urus combined with a magical interior make this an exceptional vehicle," one judge told Robb Report. "It has multiple personalities, and I love them all."

The 2019 Urus has an MSRP of $200,000.

2020 Chevrolet Corvette

The Detroit Free Press claims that while the Corvette still has its iconic lights and fenders, the car is "better than those who dreamt of it could have expected."

The daily newspaper says this is because the engine — which places 60% of the weight on the rear wheels — outfits the car with a zero-to-60 mph time of less than 3 seconds with the Z51 package.

The Corvette was also named car of the year by Motor Trend. One of the guest judges initially noted that the vehicle was quiet for a supercar.

The magazine also claims the Corvette "rides surprisingly well" and has a high-quality and well-designed interior cabin with comfortable seats and multiple mode selectors.

The 2020 Chevy Corvette starts at $58,900.

Jaguar I-PACE

The I-PACE is the only all-electric car on the list and won three titles at the World Car Awards: 2019 World Car of the Year, the 2019 World Green Car, and the 2019 World Car Design of the Year. This is the first time a car has won three categories in the same year and was selected by a panel of 86 automotive journalists from 24 countries, according to the World Car Awards.

"For I-PACE to be awarded 2019 World Car of the Year gives our first all-electric vehicle the ultimate recognition it deserves," Land Rover CEO Dr. Ralf Speth said in a statement.

The 2019 Jaguar I-PACE has a starting price of $69,500.

The 2019 Mazda 3 has an MSRP of $21,000.

Esquire's pick for its coveted title was the Toyota GR Supra and calls the car "pure joy on four wheels" because of its 335 horsepower, agility, and stylishness.

"Sports cars need to be for everyone, and the new Supra delivers," Esquire wrote. The 2020 Supra is the first model since it's 21-year hiatus. The car starts at $49,990.
