evo CAR OF THE YEAR

We’ve approached ecoty differently this year, in order to celebrate and reward the very best cars across the full evo grid. So, ten cars, ten categories, half a dozen locations, no Porsche 911 and one evo Car of the Year

WELCOME TO EVO CAR OF THE YEAR. A NEW evo Car of the Year. One that is more inclusive than ever before. An ecoty that celebrates the very best performance cars on sale today from every key sector covered by evo’s all-knowing Knowledge.

From superminis to hypercars, via hot hatches, saloons, sports cars, coupes, GTS and supercars, we’ve taken our favourite car from each class to roads that put them in their element, enabling them to show exactly what they’re capable of, and we’ve travelled thousands of miles across the length and breadth of England, Scotland, Wales and, er, Germany to do so.

Unlike previous years we haven’t restricted ourselves to considering only new cars launched during the last twelve months. As we see all too often, the latest arrivals aren’t always an improvement over the established class leader. In addition, for a car to be eligible for consideration, you must be able to place an order for one, and not need to be a ‘special’ customer to do so. In other words, no unobtainium.

Over the following 40 pages we drive, dissect, discuss and deliver the verdicts that outline why our ten choices are the best of the best. Then we crown one evo Car of the Year.
