picked five cars that represent the best of what’s new for the 2018 model year to duke it out for our coveted 2018 Car of the Year Award.
Each vehicle here moves the needle forward when it comes to their brand or their segment and have been extensively evaluated by our team of automotive experts both in real-world driving and on the track.
This year, shortlisted the Subaru Impreza, Toyota Camry, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Honda Accord, and Kia Stinger as the most significant new cars that came out this year. We always put a price cap on vehicles eligible for our award to make sure they’re accessible, which explains the absence of such great cars as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, Porsche Panamera, and Lexus LC500, among others.
