Cars from Asia and the Americas will host the European fight to be the best. It is not known what car would be the best car.

Dozens of cars are now being fought in the blue continent, Europe. The latest fight is competing for the title as the best car in Europe in 2012. Various cars from various brands and countries participating in the colossal battle.


Who are the candidates the European Car of the Year 2013? Here's the list:

Firstly,  Audi A3 as the best car and then secondly, BMW 3 Series and then it's followed by Chevrolet Malibu. The latter's  Dacia lodgy, Fiat 500L, Ford B-Max. Don't forget we still the next,  Honda CR-V,  Hyundai i30, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia cee'd,  Kia Optima, Lancia Flavia, Mazda6, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Mercedes-Benz SL, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi ASX / Aircross Citroen / Peugeot 4008, Opel / Vauxhall Adam, Opel / Vauxhall Mokka, Peugeot 208. I believe you like the next, Porsche Boxster, Range Rover, Renault Clio, Rapid Skoda / Seat Toledo, Smart ED, Subaru Impreza, Subaru XV, Subaru BRZ / Toyota GT86, Tata Vista, and the next from Toyota Auris, Toyota Prius Plug-in, Toyota Prius Plus, finally there are from Volkswagen, such as Volkswagen Golf, Volvo V40, Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid.


But at least the past two years, the electric car has always been Europe's best cars. In 2011, Nissan LEAF to be the best car, later in this 2012 Opel Ampera has a base similar to the Chevrolet Volt winning the title.

But for the best car in 2013, the dominance of the electric car can almost be predicted will not happen again. For candidates in the ranks of the best car there is only smart ED electric car. Environmentally friendly cars such as hybrid also comparatively few.

Only the Toyota Prius and Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid can even have these cars beat the dominance of diesel and petrol-engined car to be the best.

Currently, there were 18 new cars and editor of Autoblog try to provide an internal assessment as a play car. This is the fifth car.

1. 2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI

VW diesel engine 2.0 liter turbocharged engine of the beetle-shaped car, have a great power and a smoother exterior quality. That is the better value. Beetle TDI to be more masculine than the previous version. Then another record increase in torque of 319 Nm with emission levels 29 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway.


2. Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R 1993

Indeed, the editors chose weird old car that first appeared at the Chicago Auto Show 1992 as the first best. Instead Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 convertible 2013 who had a 231 PS power. Many marvel at the sides of the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R 1993 and the figure continues to be discussion in the car magazines. This is the reason we (autoblogcom editor) put it at the top.

3. KIA concept Track'ster

Cool concept car, not because the engine was turbocharged 246 PS. But the simplicity of form derived from the KIA Soul. Comes with three doors and hang out low and wide hips make it look good. While some of us liked the X-shaped fog lights are neatly in front.

1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R's assessed by car antusiasts as favourite car


4. 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT

This car has previously made a big splash in the United States with a lot of praise from the public or the media. Hyundai continues to expand its current line-up Elantra and we remain interested in this five-door coupe. Elantra GT is the lightest vehicle in its class and wide, and design elements such as the windshield is connected with the panoramic sunroof and the front shape changes are more subtle.

5. 2013 Acura ILX

ILX reason we chose one of the best cars at the Chicago Auto Show 2013 for the 2.4-liter engine and manual 6-speed transmission. Basically this is still a class with the Civic Si sedan and the Civic EX 2012, but with a large capacity engine in its class and a manual transmission is a good step in our opinion.
