2012 Euro COTY winner
The Vauxhall Ampera / Opel Ampera / Chevrolet Volt joint entry has been named as the 2012 European Car of the Year.
Fifty-nine motoring journalists from across twenty-three countries had the task of allocating votes to a shortlist of seven models, and in the end their decision was an emphatic one.
A total of 330 points were given to the Ampera / Volt range-extender, 49 more than the second-placed Volkswagen Up! city car received. Third place was taken by the Ford Focus.
It was perhaps unexpected that the Range Rover Evoque and Citroën DS5 didn’t secure more support, but in this company a last place for the Toyota Yaris came as no great surprise.
