Volkswagen is being recognised for EV reliability, innovation, safety and efficiency; an incredible achievement in such a competitive market.
Using a combination of independent tests, undercover investigations and real-world experiences from thousands of owners, the Which? panel of judges agreed that Volkswagen is the 2026 Which? Electric Car Brand of the year.
“Volkswagen captures the award with an extensive electric vehicle line-up that covers a wide variety of car types and price points, achieving the highest average test score among shortlisted brands. The manufacturer delivers best buy or near-best buy performance across its range, while actively listening and responding to consumer feedback to improve interior technology.” - Which? judges
The award was announced at London’s Science Museum where fellow Which? recommended brands were there to support and applaud the latest addition in championing consumer choice.
“This award is a terrific validation of everything we have been working to achieve with our electric cars over the past few years... The brand has entered an exciting era with its new family of small electric cars. Starting with the ID. Polo – and with more to come, including the first ever fully electric GTI – these EVs combine everyday usability with cutting-edge electric technology and unmistakable Volkswagen design and character. They will also open the door to electric driving for many more customers, with prices that make electric cars more accessible than ever before.” - Rod McLeod, Director of Volkswagen UK
