Nissan LEAF Named World’s Best Compact Car by Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year Jury
Nissan is proud to announce that the all-new Nissan LEAF has been awarded the prestigious title of World's Best Compact Car by the Women's Worldwide Car of the Year (WWCOTY) jury – the only automotive awards panel in the world comprised exclusively of women motoring journalists.
The all-new LEAF is the third generation of the pioneering mass-market electric vehicle and the accolade recognizes its sleek design, impressive powertrain performance and intuitive technology, as well its historic role in the consumer shift to electric vehicles.
A Global Recognition for Innovation and Accessibility
The WWCOTY award celebrates vehicles that excel in areas most relevant to everyday drivers: safety, quality, price, design, ease of driving, benefits and environmental footprint. The jury, made up of 75 automotive journalists from 52 countries, does not select a "woman's car" – because cars are not gender-specific – but rather evaluates vehicles based on universal criteria that matter to all motorists.
Founded in 2009 by New Zealand journalist Sandy Myhre, WWCOTY aims to amplify women's voices in the automotive industry and highlight mobility as a key enabler of personal and professional opportunities worldwide.

America's Quickest Production Car: Corvette ZR1X Does 8.675-Second ¼-Mile, Sub 2 Second 0-60
The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the most advanced Corvette ever, is the quickest American production car available – and the fastest way to get down a quarter-mile drag strip for under a million dollars.
Testing on the ZR1X culminated in October 2025 with validation at US 131 Motorsports Park – reflective of the real-world environments where Corvette customers exercise their vehicles. On a prepped surface, the ZR1X completed the quarter mile in 8.675 seconds at 159 mph1, on pump gas, using standard-equipment tires and production 50-state street-legal engine calibration, and achieving a 0-60 mph time of 1.68 seconds1 on the same run. The ZR1X blasted to 60 mph in less than 100 feet, generating a peak of 1.75G of acceleration force.
“When we made the revolutionary shift to a mid-engine platform, this is the type of performance we knew was possible,” said General Motors President Mark Reuss.
The car was equipped with ZR1X’s standard aero configuration, standard Michelin PS4S tires, and available carbon fiber wheels. This acceleration was not a one-off, either – the vehicle used for testing completed multiple back-to-back quarter-mile runs all under 8.8 seconds. The 2026 Corvette ZR1X uses its twin-turbo LT7 V8 engine and front-axle electric motor to generate a total of 1,250 horsepower2, sending it to the ground via electrified all-wheel drive.
