Also competing for the Car Design Award 2025 is the Fiat Grande Panda. The award ceremony will be held on 8 April in Milan
The Car Design Award is an international prize organised by Auto&Design magazine, which is celebrating its 41st anniversary this year. It has become a point of reference for the authors of the best production and concept car designs, as well as the best brand design language.
In 2024, the awards went to Volvo, BMW and Kia, and this year’s winners will be announced on Tuesday 8 April during the awards ceremony at the ADI Design Museum in Milan during Milan Design Week 2025. The finalists have just been announced, along with Alcantara, and are divided into three categories.
In accordance with the rules, the judges selected ten projects for the Production Cars category and ten projects for the Concept Cars category that were presented between 1 January and 31 December 2024, as well as five brands that stood out across their entire product range in the Brand Design Language category.
