THE votes have been tallied and 25 semi-finalists have been announced for the 2020 AutoTrader South African Car of the Year competition.
One of these semi-finalists will win the most sought-after title in the Mzansi automotive industry, that of 2020 AutoTrader South African Car of the Year.
Mzansi’s premiere motoring journalists have voted for the these semi-finalists, while there was also a public voting process.
These cars will also vie for one of seven category wins: Family, Leisure, Lifestyle, Premium Car, Premium SUV, Sports/Performance and Urban.
Now that the semi-finalists have been named, voting for the finalists will commence.
For the first time in the competition’s history, consumers will be able to vote alongside motoring experts.
A special event in Jourg will today reveal which cars make up the 14 finalists.
