A jury of 86 distinguished international automotive journalists selected the finalists by secret ballot based on their evaluation of each eligible vehicle as part of their professional work. KPMG tabulated the vote results.

The Road to the World Car Awards is an annual journey that follows the 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 our 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 in New Delhi, India on February 5^th.

The Road to the World Car Awards will end with a grande finale awards ceremony and press conference that will open the New York International Auto Show on April 8, 2020 during the media breakfast that officially opens the show. All winners in all categories will be declared at this time. 2020 marks the 15th year of the World Car Awards’ partnership with the New York auto show.
