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.

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.
