The South African Car of the Year competition has been around for over 25 years and the strictest criteria apply to the finalists. Each car is thoroughly put through its paces over two days of testing at Gerotek’s facilities and the eventual winner will have to tick all the boxes in terms of value for money, safety, innovation, technology and dynamics.
