Date Posted: 01 April 2023

It's that time of year again - the 2023 Carwow Buy It Awards have just been announced!

Startin Group takes a look at the winners of the 2023 Carwow Buy It Awards. Highlighting the top carwow 'Buy It'  cars for 2023, and taking a look at the Kia and Honda models that won Carwow Manufacturer of the Year. Read on to get the full story on the 2023 Carwow Buy It Awards.

New Honda Civic

The all-new Honda Civic Type R has won the Most Anticipated New Car of 2023 in the 2023 Carwow Buy It Awards.

Carwow commented: "The all-new Type R will also be one of the last performance cars to get an old-school six-speed manual gearbox, and Honda has dialled back the boy-racer styling so you won’t be embarrassed to drive this car to work."

The Honda Civic Type R is the most highly anticipated new car coming in the next year, and it’s easy to see why. The current version is a fantastic hot-hatch, and the new one will have even more power.

New Skoda Kodiaq

The Skoda Kodiaq has been given a few updates in 2022, and it’s now better than ever. The design may not have changed drastically, however that’s a good thing as the Kodiaq has always been a handsome SUV.

It’s a similar story inside. The cabin is as solid as ever and there’s an impressive amount of space on offer. You can comfortably fit five adults in the first two rows, and two kids can squeeze in the rearmost row without hassle.

The Kodiaq sums up everything that’s good about ŠKODA - it’s smart, practical, straightforward and has a load of clever features that make owning it a pleasure,” said carwow’s Mat Watson. “The recent upgrades mean it’s better than ever, and there’s no finer family SUV with room for seven inside.

New Dacia Jogger

Of the hundreds of cars that carwow has reviewed on its YouTube channel in 2022, the Jogger is just one of 16 that has been given the ‘Buy It’ seal of approval.

If you need to carry seven people, but don’t want to spend a fortune on a posh SUV, the Dacia Jogger has you covered. The boxy shape means it offers loads of interior space, and that’s not the Jogger’s only party trick.

Dacia has always been about value, and the Jogger makes sure there’s no better value way of carrying seven people. This blend of SUV, MPV and estate car feels more impressive than its bargain price tag would suggest, and there’s nothing even close that can match the Jogger’s practicality and spaciousness.

New Kia EV6

Love it or hate it, the Kia EV6 is definitely a striking-looking electric car. It has a smart front end, a sporty sloping roofline and a rear which isn’t too dissimilar from an Aston Martin DBX. And things get even better when you step inside.

The cabin gets a cool floating centre console and two huge screens spanning the dashboard. The EV6 also drives really well, managing to be more sporty than the Ioniq 5 while still being comfortable.

Kia And Honda: Carwow Manufacturer Of The Year & Type R Performance Car

Looking for a new car?

Kia has taken home the prestigious title of Carwow manufacturer of the year, for the second year in a row, and they've got an impressive lineup of cars to show for it. From the dinky Picanto to the bonkers 585hp EV6 GT, plus a reliable Ceed hatchback, eye-catching Sportage SUV, and all-new Niro with an impressive amount of standard kit – there's something for everyone on Kia's list. Plus, all Kia models come with a reassuring seven-year warranty.

Carwows most anticipated new car of 2023 is undoubtedly the Honda Civic Type R. This car has been hyped up for months and has even more power than its predecessor; it will be one of the last performance cars to have an old-school six-speed manual gearbox.
