In the motoring industry, there is no accolade greater than that of a Car of the season award. Not only does this achievement shine the spotlight with an individual vehicle, but certainly also around the brand as a whole. Hyundai can easily verify this, having had five of their vehicles named finalists since 2010 and successfully claiming the coveted SA Car of the season title this year.
The South African Guild of Motoring Journalists Car of the season competition launched nearly Thirty years ago in 1986 and has evolved since to include a complex and fair judging process to maintain industry's development in product offerings. At the annual event, a panel of pros assesses everything from good value, aesthetics, safety, dynamics, technology, comfort, handling innovation and ingenuity before electing a success.
