Finalists in the definitive automotive awards programme are selected from the entire passenger vehicle market. The scoring process is based 50 percent on a panel comprising 14 guest judges, together with the Cars.co.za editorial team. The remaining 50 percent is determined by rankings achieved in an Ownership Satisfaction Survey conducted in partnership with data specialists Lightstone Consumer.
Where winners of the individual vehicle categories are decided by a combination of judging panel scores and consumer data, the prestigious Brand of the Year award is determined entirely by market data and findings of the Ownership Satisfaction Survey which includes respective sales and after-sales service ratings from thousands of South African vehicle owners.
Here Land Rover/Range Rover climbed 12 positions from its results in the 2019/20 #CarsAwards to achieve a respectable second runner-up podium finish.
