Top Car TV 2023 awards Ram Rampage as best car of the year

In an event celebrated by several manufacturers, the Top Car TV Awards awards trophies to all the winners of the 22nd edition

For the 22nd time, the Top Car TV Award transformed the voting for the best vehicles of the year into a huge party for the automotive segment, bringing together almost two hundred guests, including journalists and industry executives. The Ram Rampage was named best car of the year in all categories.

As per tradition, the event took place in Sao Paulo, this time at the British Brazilian Center, even though its creator, the journalist Paulo Brandão, lives and works in Bahia. That’s because the Top Car TV Award has a national reach. The results were only revealed during the ceremony, after 50 jurors voted in three areas.

It was the 22nd Top Car Award (13 categories), the 8th Top Truck Award (five categories) and the 6th Top Moto Award (two categories). “After more than two decades of awards, I continue to be moved by the efforts of the Director of the Committee in creating one of the most serious, relevant and professional automotive votes in the Brazilian market,” underlined Paulo Brandão, president of Top Car TV.

The 2023 winner was automaker Volkswagen, which is celebrating 70 years in Brazil. “The greatest importance of this award is to serve as a guide for consumers to make better decisions when purchasing a vehicle,” said Duda Godinho, of the award’s management committee.
