Acclaimed local motoring website cars.co.za has announced the 39 finalists at its highly-regarded Consumer Awards.
For the 2019/2020 award, there are three finalists over 13 categories.
They were selected out of 65 vehicles that cars.co.za’s editorial team agreed were the best derivatives available in Mzansi’s new passenger vehicle market last month.
The #CarsAwards, now in their fifth year, were conceived to be Mzansi’s definitive automotive awards programme.
And the ceremony has grown.
The 13 category winners and Brand of the Year recipient will be announced in February. There are 17 automotive brands represented in the list of finalists, with Volkswagen leading the nominations with seven derivatives.
