Last year was a year like no other for the car industry, as dealerships were shuttered and factories fell silent.

New model launches were pushed back and some cars due to arrive last year never made it. But 2021 promises to be a busy year for new metal, as the pipelines return to full volume.

Seven cars made the cut as category winners for News Corp Australia’s Car of the Year finale.

Choosing the best new car in a given year is not an easy process. In previous years, the motoring team picked 10 finalists to face close scrutiny from a team of experienced judges. This year, a new structure better reflects the preferences of Australian motorists.
