In an amazingly close and tense finale, the European Car of the Year award voting ended in a tie this year, between the Alpine A110 and Jaguar I-Pace. The tie-breaker was to count how many first-preference votes each car got. Still it was close, but the Jaguar won by 18-16. It"ll be a bit of a famous victory, not just for the closeness but for the type of cars. CotY had a reputation for going to mid-price hatchbacks. The Ford Focus, Kia Ceed and Mercedes A-Class were on the seven-car shortlist, and at times during the count both the Kia and Focus led the field.
