Throughout 2022, many new cars have been released. Some were good, some were not, and even fewer left an indelible mark on us. The Car Of The Year awards is our way of recognising the efforts that automobile manufacturers have put into their cars, and to continually improve them year after year.

As per our practices, only cars that are still for sale in 2022 will be entered for consideration in our Car Of The Year awards. And after going through our internal judging rubrics, we’ve narrowed it down to this featured selection.

We have put together an extensive list of cars which we have tested, digging in to how well they are built, how they tick, and how practical or justifiable they really are. All this to aid you in your next buying decision.
