2018 World Car Awards eligibility lists
Organisers of the World Car Awards have revealed the models that'll be competing for 2018's prizes.
2018 World Car of the Year
As expected, an extremely wide range of contenders is going to vie for the main accolade. Of the thirty-five entries, eighteen are from European brands, fifteen are Asian and two are American.
2018 World Luxury Car
A very small collection of candidates here and, apart from the Lexus, all represent German marques.
2018 World Performance Car
Unsurprisingly, the nominees cover a broad spectrum of prices and capabilities. Consequently, they'll have to be judged against their direct rivals, rather than each other.
2018 World Urban Car
Compact dimensions and low emissions are undoubtedly major factors in determining what makes a good urban car. As 2018's contestants are all roughly the same size and all run on petrol or diesel, picking the best might end up being a purely subjective (and somewhat pointless) exercise.
2018 World Green Car
Provided the second-generation pure-electric Leaf offers real-world range improvements and a decent driving experience, then it should be favourite to win this title.
2018 World Car Design of the Year
All of the vehicles noted above automatically enter the World Car Design category too. In addition, there are a couple of stand-alone participants.
Between now and the 12th of January 2018, the jurors are tasked with test-driving all of the eligible cars before voting on them. That initial ballot is used to determine the finalists.
Next, a second round of test drives and voting are due to take place, with a 13th of February deadline for both.
Then, the top three finalists for each award are going to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show on the 6th of March. A declaration of the winners at the New York International Auto Show on the 28th of March will conclude the rather lengthy process.
