2015 European Car of the Year winner named

The sixth-generation Volkswagen Passat has been declared the 2015 European Car of the Year.

Its victory demonstrates once again that this award can easily favour models which sit firmly within the 'worthy but dull' category.

Encouragingly, the innovative Citroën C4 Cactus secured the runner-up spot, but a 92-point gap meant the French contender actually ended up a distant second.

Here's how the jury members allocated their votes to the seven nominees:

1. Volkswagen Passat 340 points
2. Citroën C4 Cactus 248 points
3. Mercedes-Benz C-Class 221 points
4. Ford Mondeo 203 points
5. Nissan Qashqai 160 points
6. BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 154 points
7. Renault Twingo 124 points
