Toyota two-time winners at consumer awards
With celebrities in tow and a host of industry representatives in attendance, the stage was set to reveal South African’s favourite vehicles.
Toyota scooped the two main ‘fun categories’, namely Adventure SUV and Performance Car at the Cars.co.za Consumer awards.
The awards, now in its 5th year, are a celebrated evening of automotive excellence.
The individual category scores are made up by a 50% judging-panel vote and 50% consumer vote. The highest-rated vehicle amongst the three pre-selected finalists is then declared the winner based on their score.
The revered Toyota Fortuner was awarded favourite Adventure SUV for a third year running (beating out the Ford Everest and Haval H9) – proving that its blend of good looks, off-road competence, luxury and versatility really resonate with customers. It was further evidenced by the fact that it is South Africa’s best-selling SUV.
Tough competition
The Performance Car category featured three heavy hitters in the shape of the BMW M2 Competition, Ford Mustang GT and Toyota Supra 3.0T.
With the highest overall score of any vehicle in the competition – both judges and consumers gave the Supra ‘full marks’ with an aggregate score of over 85%.
The Mk5 Supra rekindles arguably one of the most emotive nameplates, with a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six engine and super-responsive 8-speed automatic transmission. Perfectly balanced handling, driver feedback and all-round performance excellence are some of Supra’s resounding qualities.
Toyota South Africa extended its gratitude to each one of its customers, without which, no accolade would be possible. And an appreciation to the Cars.co.za team for giving consumers a platform to share their brand and vehicle experience. - MotorPress
