Motorists looking for a new car in 2024 should look no further than these award-winning models with MG, Ferrari and BMW among the top brands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Car Expert Awards have highlighted the best new vehicles on the market with units still available for 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Electric cars dominated the headlines with seven of the 12 award winners coming from EV models.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BMW also stole the show with three of their models picking up prizes in a superb year for the German manufacturer.<\/p>\n

However, it was MG\u2019s new fully electric model which picked up the top gong in an iconic victory for the British marque.<\/p>\n

MG 4<\/h3>\n

The fully-electric model has scooped this year\u2019s Car of the Year award after wowing judges since its launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The model also picked up a gong for being the Best Medium Car on sale to motorists this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MG 4 was praised for its exceptional affordability with brand-new models priced at just \u00a336,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The model also topped the awards for its class-leading battery range with over 300 miles promised on one top-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stuart Masson, Editorial Director at The Car Expert explained: “The MG 4 is, quite simply, a remarkable car. It\u2019s fully electric, with a battery range of more than 300 miles on some versions. It has a five-star safety rating. It\u2019s very well kitted out. It comes with a seven-year warranty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd its pricing makes every other family car on the road, let alone other electric cars, look silly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferrari Purosangue\u00a0<\/h3>\n

This is the Italian brand’s first five-door production vehicle and has claimed the prize for the Best Luxury SUV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With a top speed of 193 mph, the Purosangue certainly packs a punch and is the ultimate family car for petrolheads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, those looking to snap one up will have to wait with the model completely sold out until at least 2025\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Masson commented: \u201cWe know that Ferrari doesn\u2019t like describing the Purosangue as an SUV. But, honestly, has any other vehicle ever offered both sport and utility at anything like this level?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the usual Ferrari hallmarks are present, combining a thrilling driving experience with sublime luxury \u2013 all powered by a superb 6.5-litre V12 engine.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMW i7<\/h3>\n

According to The Car Expert, the i7 has been compared to models from Rolls-Royce meaning it is no surprise it picked up this year’s Best Luxury Car gong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The electric model has been particularly praised for its spacious interior with generous amounts of built-in technology.<\/p>\n

The model comes with a phenomenal 388-mile range but comes at a cost with models just under \u00a3100,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BMW M2\u00a0<\/h3>\n

BMW has scooped the best Performance Car price for three years running with the M2 topping the bill this time around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As standard, the model is electronically locked at 155 mph but this can be de-restricted to reach 177mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The model is valued at a staggering \u00a361,495 but this could be the last petrol model from the iconic German marque.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Honda Civic Type R<\/h3>\n

This model scooped the Best Hot Hatch award with an expert rating of 90 percent, making it one of the highest-rated new cars on sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The model starts at \u00a346,995 but could also be the last petrol-powered Type R from the Japanese car maker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mr Masson said: \u201cThe new Honda Civic Type R manages to maintain the superlative driving characteristics we\u2019ve come to know and love from anything wearing the famous red Type R badge, but adds a new level of maturity and sophistication that is shared with the entire Civic range.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Best Small Car award was won by the Abarth 500e with experts claiming the car was easy to drive, agile and engaging around town.<\/p>\n

Electric cars again topped the list in the SUV categories with the Hyundai Kona Electric securing The Best Small SUV award.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Best Medium SUV was won by the Genesis Electrified GV70 while the Best Large SUV was named as the Lexus RX.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Best Luxury Sports Car award was picked up by the stunning Aston Martin DB12.<\/p>\n
