Car of the Year category winners
The winner in the Urban Category was the Hyundai Atos 1.1 Motion. This category covers compact budget-friendly passenger vehicles that are ideal for in-town driving. Buyers of these cars typically rate practicality over luxury and performance.
The next category – Family – is especially popular. It consists of
mid-size sedans. Buyers of these vehicles expect quality, practicality
and comfort –with an element of advanced handling dynamics thrown into
the equation. The winner in this category was
the Toyota Corolla Hatch 1.2T XR CVT.
The third category – Leisure – was won by the Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0
TSI Comfortline 85kW DSG. This category covers sports utility vehicles
(SUVs) and multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs). Owners of these SUVs and MPVs
enjoy the freedom of driving both on and off-road.
This – combined a high seating position and flexible cargo space – makes
this a popular category amongst the buying public.
The Lifestyle Utility Vehicles Category was won by the Ford Ranger
Raptor. These vehicles typically offer supreme 4×4 ability and can be
either an SUV or a single or double-cab bakkie.
The highly contested Premium Car Category was won by the overall
winner, namely the Jaguar I-PACE EV400 AWD SE. Buyers of these
prestigious mid to large vehicles want powerful engines, luxury features
and high-end trim options.
The Premium SUV Category caters for vehicles that offer a combination
of versatility, comfort, style and performance both on- and off the
road. Boasting genuine 4×4 ability without low range, these vehicles are
luxurious, spacious and refined. This category
was won by the Mercedes-Benz GLE400d 4Matic.
The final category – sport/performance – was won by the Toyota GR Supra 3.0T. Whether it’s a sportier flagship of an existing passenger range or a pure stand-alone model, vehicles in this category have one common trait: superior performance. Accordingly, thoroughbred sports cars are included in this category.
