Car Design Award 2024: jury motivations

Concept cars, BMW Vision New Class
“It’s never easy to reinvent a brand’s design language, but the BMW Vision Neue Klasse does it in a very modern way, while maintaining the style elements that make up the brand’s heritage. In the increasingly uniform design of electric vehicles, a tribute to the days of past and a vision of the future.”

Production Cars Volvo Ex30
“For Volvo, small is very good. The exterior of the EX30 is perfectly achieved and the interior is very spacious. A small SUV with a strong sense of luxury, characterized by the typical Volvo design language: simple, ecological, practical, but also capable of bringing a sense of freshness with its characteristic Scandinavian design, albeit new.”

Brand Design Language, Kia
“With the philosophy of Opposition United, Kia design has taken a subtle approach with the aim of bringing about change, without fear of taking risks. Unexpected at first sight, the new Kia models break the mold of unified aesthetic parameters to establish a formal modern language and completely new. The constant innovation of creating a new identity.”
