Turns out the Mazda MX-5 really is the answer to everything, as the lightweight roadster has been named 2016 World Car of the Year at the 2016 New York motor show.

Judged by a panel of 73 journalists from 23 countries, the Mk4 MX-5 also won the World Car Design of the Year sub-category. The World Car of the Year awards were first launched in 2004. To qualify for nomination, cars must be on sale on at least two continents.

What cars did the MX-5 beat for the 2016 WCOTY title?

A pretty broad spread. The two runners up for the overall WCOTY gong were the Audi A4 and the Mercedes GLC SUV, while also nominated were the BMW X1, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Renault Kadjar, Subaru Levorg and Skoda Superb, to name a few.

In the Design of the Year category the MX-5 nabbed the trophy from Jaguar’s XE saloon and its own Mazda CX-3 crossover stablemate.

Which other cars are taking home some silverware from New York?

  • Audi R8 – Performance car of the year (runners up Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe, Honda Civic Type R)
  • Toyota Mirai – Best green car award (runners up Toyota Prius, Chevrolet Volt)
  • BMW 7-series – Best luxury car (runners up Audi Q7, Volvo XC90)

Who’s won before?

  • 2015 Mercedes C-class
  • 2014 Audi A3
  • 2013 VW Golf
