Australian Best Car Awards

Australia’s Best Cars is the Nation’s most wide-ranging and self-determining consumer concentrated vehicle testing and award package, and is offered by the Australian Automobile Association, on behalf of Australia’s Motoring Clubs –

  • NRMA Motoring & Services
  • RACV
  • RACQ
  • RAASA
  • RACWA
  • RACT
  • AANT
As Australia’s Best new car consumer’s guide, we embrace news, reviews and complete scores on more than 300 vehicles – a great opportunity for you to equate vehicles against their participants and gives you assurance and awareness to help you make an well-versed purchasing conclusion.
Following 12 months of non-stop evaluation, a narrow down of potential qualifiers in each of the 15 categories was established in October. The judges then question the qualifiers back-to-back driving tests on a variation of surfaces and circumstances in an exhaustive, week-long process.
The Selection Process
  • Eligibility
  • Tested by the Motoring Clubs
  • Model selection
  • Even comparison
  • Judges’ discretion
  • Engine variants
  • The Scoring Process
    Each vehicle is considered against 3 areas:
    • Value for Money
    • Design and Function
    • On the Road Performance
    Every vehicle’s overall score reflects its spot within the session and should only be associated within its grouping.
    The scores for each standard are prejudiced as critical, high, medium or low – according to their position to buyers in the appropriate market sector.
