The Volvo XC40 has won the European Car of the Year trophy by a clear margin. The Seat Ibiza came next, then the BMW 5 Series. This year"s shortlist for the contest was a very strong one and so the votes for places 2 to 7 were much more evenly distributed than usual. The XC40 scored 325 points, the Ibiza 242, and the 5 Series 226. Next came the Kia Stinger at 204, Citroen C3 Aircross with 171, Audi A8 with 169, and Alfa Romeo"s Stelvio with 163. Car of the Year is the world"s longest-established and best-known international new-car award. It is decided by 59 judges across the whole of Europe, including Top Gear"s Paul Horrell. After the seven-car shortlist is selected, each juror gets 25 points to deal out, and must give no car more than 10.
