2021 CAR DESIGN AWARDS GO TO CANOO, LAND ROVER AND PEUGEOT

Winners of the 2021 Car Design Award, the Oscar of world car design established in 1984 by Auto&Design magazine, are the design teams from Canoo for the EV pickup, Land Rover for the Defender 90 and Peugeot for its brand design language.

The award ceremony was held digitally at the Mauto – Turin’s National Automobile Museum – and was broadcast on the Car Design Award YouTube channel, offering audiences around the world the opportunity to watch the event. The winners’ trophies were made by Brembo, a partner of the initiative since the award was revived in the 2000s.
