With the New Zealand government rewarding buyers of lower fossil fuel use vehicles and punishing the higher users, one would expect the award's winners may be swayed by this. Not so.
While some of the segments for awards reflect a shift of emphasis that way, winners still need to be the best, regardless of their fuel consumption. So without further ado, the categories.
Small SUV: MG ZS
Medium SUV: Kia Sportage
Large SUV: Kia Sorento
Hybrid: Toyota Highlander
PHEV: Mitsubishi Outlander
BEV: BYD Atto 3
Passenger: Honda Jazz
Sports and performance: Chevrolet Corvette
Light commercial vehicle: Ford Ranger
Luxury: BMW iX
AA Safest: Tesla Model Y
People’s Choice: Toyota RAV4
Overall Car of the Year top three: BYD Atto 3, Ford Ranger, Mitsubishi Outlander
Overall Car of the Year winner: Ford Ranger
So the overall winner the Ford Ranger pickup truck, a vehicle that costs owners a fee at purchase of between $1,840 and $5,175 due to fuel use, it still is the most popular vehicle and the best new model available here.
