Russia named the best cars of 2021: from SUV to sedan

Yesterday, on May 27, the ceremony of awarding the national automobile award “Top-5 Auto” was officially held – this is the ninth season, which is held exclusively in Russia with the participation of leading experts, media representatives and opinion leaders. And although last year the winners in the nominations were awarded online, in 2021 the organizers of the event will hold a full-fledged ceremony. Moreover, the Car of the Year was chosen for the second time in nine seasons of the award’s existence – it was determined among those applicants who were shortlisted in certain categories. Last year the title went to the Porsche Taycan, and this year to the fresh Land Rover Defender.
