There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a
list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees.
The list consists of the
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the
Citroën C4 Cactus (shown), the
Ford Mondeo, the
Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the
Nissan Qashqai, the
Renault Twingo and the
Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US - those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the
Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroën and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible.
Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the
Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
