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.

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.

  • BMW 7-series – Best luxury car (runners up Audi Q7, Volvo XC90)
