2020 World Car Awards jury nails down three finalists

By CARSIFU | 11 March 2020


TORONTO: A jury of 86 international automotive journalists has narrowed down the finalists for the 2020 World Car Awards to two Mazdas and a Kia.

They are the Mazda3, Mazda CX-30 and Kia Telluride.

Each member of the jury picked the finalists by secret ballot based on their evaluation of each eligible vehicle as part of the screening process. KPMG tabulated the vote results.

The Road to the World Car Awards is an annual journey that follows our 86 international jurors as they test-drive, and vote on, the eligible vehicles for the 2020 awards season.

There are several stops along the road. One of the first took place in Los Angeles in November for the sixth annual “L.A. Test Drives” event hosted by ZF.

Then, the Top 10 and Top Five finalists in five World Car Awards categories were announced live during a press conference held at the Delhi auto show on Feb 5.

The Road to the World Car Awards will end with a grande finale awards ceremony at the New York International Auto Show. All winners in all categories will be declared at this time. This year marks the 15th year of the World Car Awards’ partnership with the New York auto show. The show, however, has been put off to August because of the Covid-19 epidemic.
