WardsAuto has announced the annual Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX winners for 2023, with a record six battery-electric vehicles (BEV), up one from last year’s five, making the list. Including the Kia Sportage Hybrid, seven of the winners are electrified, either fully or partially.

Wards analysts selected the 2023 list after evaluating 21 vehicles with new or heavily redesigned interiors and user-experience technology. Evaluations took place earlier this year, with judges experiencing the vehicles during their daily driving.

The nominated vehicles were evaluated on a variety of aspects that shape the user’s experience inside the vehicle including aesthetics and design of the interior, material quality, fit and finish, connectivity infotainment options, comfort and usability of controls and features, instrument-panel design, information delivery and ease of operation, availability and performance of driver-assistance features, as well as overall value.
