Top Three Finalists for World Car of the Year Announced

A few days back we posted about the VW Golf making it to the finals of the aspirants for the World Car of the Year. Now, the other two were finally announced, limiting the options to only three cars that will potentially run away with the World Car of the Year award. The official list of finalists are as follows:

  • Ford Fiesta
  • Toyota iQ
  • Volkswagen Golf VI

Vehicles are selected and voted on by an international jury panel comprised of fifty-nine (59) top-level automotive journalists from twenty-five (25) countries around the world. Each juror was appointed by the World Car Steering Committee on the basis of his or her expertise, experience, credibility, and influence. Each juror typically drives and evaluates new vehicles on a regular basis as part of their professional work.

While the winner of the overall World Car award must excel in a broad range of attributes, the World Performance Car award must demonstrate a specific and overt sports/performance orientation while satisfying the same availability criteria as for the overall World Car of the Year award.
