A category shake-up leads to a new look for Australia’s most comprehensive car awards program.
With the departure of local manufacturers and technology and consumer tastes changing, the Australia’s Best Cars categories from even five years ago would be deemed old hat. The Micro and Large categories are gone and, reflecting their popularity, there are now four SUV and two small car categories spread across a range of price points. Toyota has been the surprise performer this year, with its new model range taking the top gong in five of the 13 categories.
