2019 World Car Awards eligibility lists

To kick off the 2019 World Car Awards process, the candidate vehicles have been announced.

Now the jurors have to test-drive every one of them and cast their initial votes. The sole purpose of this first poll is to determine the finalists.

Once they’re known, another round of test drives and a second ballot will follow. The top three finalists in each category are then due to be revealed at the Geneva International Motor Show on the 5th of March 2019.

Lastly – and most importantly – the winners are going to be declared on the 17th of April 2019 at the New York International Auto Show.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
