Volkswagen has landed the coveted European Car of the Year award for the second time in three years, with its new Passat midsizer announced winner at this week’s Geneva Motor Show.

The German giant last won the award in 2013 for its new Golf hatch, while French rival Peugeot took top honours in last year’s awards with the new 308.

Releasing a new volume-selling model and winning European Car of the Year has also become something of a trend for Volkswagen, having won the prize in 2010 with its compact Polo hatch.

This year, the Passat gathered 340 points from the 58-strong panel of judges from 22 European countries, flying well clear of Citroen’s new Cactus in second place with 248 points.

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class landed third with 221 points, and Ford’s new Mondeo, due in Australian showrooms from May, managed fourth on 203.
