Here They Are: 2018 WesBank South African Car of the Year Finalists

If you’re the sort who has thought winning the car of the year trophy in the automotive industry was nothing but a popularity contest, consider this.

A panel of 26 local automotive journalists have named South African Car of The Year finalists. They are, in alphabetical order:

ALFA ROMEO GIULIA
AUDI Q5
BMW 5 SERIES
KIA PICANTO
LAND ROVER DISCOVERY
PEUGEOT 3008
PORSCHE PANAMERA
SUZUKI IGNIS
TOYOTA C-HR
VOLVO S90

Preparations now continue for the COTY evaluation days that will be held in late January 2018. At these evaluation days – the most critical of which will be the scheduled procedures to be held at a dedicated testing facility – the COTY Jury will assess the cars independently, with routes and modules designed to test the vehicles in a similar way in which the average consumer would use them.
