The Renault Trezor has won the 2016 Concept Car Design of the Year award at this year's Geneva Car Design Awards.

The award was presented to Renault vice president, exterior design Anthony Lo and concept-car director Stéphane Janin at a gala ceremony in Geneva.

The peer-reviewed award is based exclusively on the votes of a 20 person panel that features some of the world's top car designers.

Key factors that contributed to the win were said to be the vehicle's low-slung, long-nosed, rear-wheel drive, two-seater electric GT design.

Exterior proportions, interior flair and magnificent use of materials, as well as strong design connection between exterior and interior were also consider to be areas of design that contributed to the win.

Groupe Renault senior vice-president corporate design Laurens van den Acker said the award was well received, particularly because of the peer judging process, noting them to be a difficult audience to please.

“It’s an honour to receive this award, because it’s voted by our peers, and that’s the hardest audience to satisfy. It’s great for our design team and their creativity, and I think it only makes us hungry for more, it stimulates us to continue.”
