Car Of The Year 2022, these are the 39 candidates for Car of the Year

El Car Of The Year Award, also known as European Car of the Year or COTY (for the acronym in English), is one of the most recognized, important and taken into account every year. At least it is the one that usually generates the most expectation. We already have the list of 39 candidates for the Car Of The Year 2022.

All are new vehicles currently on sale or will arrive in dealerships before the end of the year in at least five European markets. As you know from other editions, a first vote is made in which only seven vehicles will pass the cut and, later, the jury chooses the best among those seven vehicles.

The results of this first round and, therefore, the seven finalists will be communicated on next November 29, 2021. Afterwards, the results of the second round and the winner will be announced in February. For now, here is the list with the thirty nine Car that are currently disputing the COTY.

As you have seen in the previous list, and as expected, electric vehicles are the main protagonists. Practically all the names that are not electric cars are high-volume general models, which is very good, but it is also true that more passionate and/or sports models are missing. By the way, last year's winner was the Toyota Yaris.
