The South African Guild of Motoring Journalists (SAGMJ) has announced the finalists in the 2018 WesBank Car of the Year competition.

The announcement follows a voting process by a 30-member jury from the SAGMJ.

The finalists are the Alfa Romeo Giulia; Audi Q5; BMW 5 Series; Kia Picanto; Land Rover Discovery; Peugeot 3008; Porsche Panamera; Suzuki Ignis; Toyota C-HR and Volvo S90.

The next phase of the competition takes place on January 28 and 29, when the jury will put the cars through their paces during structured test procedures, says SAGMJ chairperson Bernard Hellberg.

The vehicles will be judged on aspects such as affordability; cabin styling layout and ergonomics; the engine; engineering integrity and build quality; exterior design; overall excellence; technology; ride quality; steering and handling; transmission performance and value for money.
