Golden Steering Wheel awards

Bestcars2017 After thousands of readers voted, we name winners of coveted awards

This year’s winners confirmed in six key categories

THE Golden Steering Wheel awards are among the most coveted in Europe, having been run by Auto Express’s sister publication Auto Bild for decades. A mix of reader polls and expert opinion, the awards mark out the best new cars to be launched in the past 12 months.

We asked for your votes in Issue 1,485, and now, after an intense judging session in October, we can announce the winners – alongside the cars UK readers chose. It’s clear British buyers have different tastes to those on the rest of the Continent; not one choice was the same. For each winner we’ve also included our picks of the range.
