    The 2014 WesBank / South African Guild of Motoring Journalists (SAGMJ) Car of the Year finalists were announced last week, at the Johannesburg International Motor Show.

    The 2014 WesBank / South African Guild of Motoring Journalists (SAGMJ) Car of the Year finalists were announced last week, at the Johannesburg International Motor Show.

    The announcement of the 2014 Car of the Year finalists follows a vote cast by a 30-member jury, elected by their peers, on the 40 Semi-finalists.

    The nine finalists for the 2014 WesBank / SAGMJ Car of the Year competition, South Africa’s premier motoring event, are (in alphabetical order):

    • 2013 Audi A3 Sportback 1.4T FSI Manual
    • 2013 Jaguar F-TYPE 3.0 V6 S
    • 2013 Lexus IS 350 F-Sport
    • 2013 Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG
    • 2013 Peugeot 208 GTI
    • 2013 Porsche Cayman S
    • 2013 Renault Clio4 66kW Turbo Dynamique
    • 2013 Volkswagen Golf 7 1.4 TSI 90kW Comfortline DSG
    • 2013 Volvo V40 D3 Geartronic Excel

    In a press statement Christo Valentyn, chairman of SAGMJ, said the next step is a stringent two-day evaluation session to be held in Gauteng in January 2014.

    A testing procedure will see the jury members assess the cars independently.

    “The evaluation days offer the jury the opportunity to reacquaint themselves with the vehicles and specific aspects such as aesthetics, build quality, ergonomics, fuel consumption, environmental friendliness, safety features and value for money, to name but a few,” said Valentyn.

    The winner of the 2014 WesBank / SAGMJ Car the Year will be revealed at a gala banquet in February 2013.
