The Dutch election entry consists of three jury members: Autovisie editor-in-chief Jaco Bijlsma and De Telegraaf/Autovisie editor Peter Hilhorst as well as Frank Buma representing the ANWB.
How does “Car of the Year” work?
The expert jury consists of 59 independent journalists from 22 countries. You have to award 25 points each, to a minimum of 5 cars and a maximum of ten points per car. This maximum number of points can be awarded once.
Autovisie is the founder and one of the nine organization titles of the Car of the Year election. The first title was awarded to the Rover 2000 in 1964. Last year the Jeep Avenger won.
What does the title “Car of the Year” mean?
The title “Car of the Year” is an excellent indicator of the ultimate (sales) success of a car. To win, a car must be on the market for at least twelve months. For manufacturers, the prestigious title is an important marketing tool to promote their product.
Last year, too, a car was chosen as Car of the Year. Read here which car that was.
