Well, the Motoring Media Association of Ireland (MMAI) has thrown 51 contenders into the ring for the coveted Irish Car of the Year award—and trust me, the competition is sizzling hot. The catch? Electric vehicles have charged ahead, dominating the shortlist with everything from nimble compacts to plush premium rides vying for the 2027 crown.

There are 51 cars in the running for the Motoring Media Association of Ireland‘s (MMAI) Irish Car of the Year award, the winner of which will be announced next month.
The shortlist is dominated by electric vehicles but nominees for the 2027 crown range from compact EVs to premium models.
The Irish Car of the Year Awards as voted by 30 jurors comprised of some of Ireland’s leading motoring media, is the longest running event of its kind in Ireland.
The Volkswagen Golf was the first Irish Car of the Year in 1979, and the awards programme has since expanded to 10 categories recognising small cars, family SUVs and high performance vehicles among others.
The Irish Car of the Year Awards help to highlight the best vehicles on sale in Ireland today, enabling Irish motoring consumers to make an informed decision when making a new car investment.
Last year’s winner of the title of Irish Car of the Year was the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, the second EV to win since 2025, continuing a strong run for EVs in the competition.
The 2027 awards ceremony will take place at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre on 12 November.
