In a competition that is run annually by the South African Guild of Mobility Journalists (SAGMJ), the Suzuki Fronx secured second place, with the BMW M2 claiming the bronze medal.

The BMW 7 Series was also awarded the COTY Jurors Excellence Award, attracting the jurors’ admiration for its “exceptional driving experience, vehicle quality and craftsmanship”.

The category winners of the 2024 COTY competition are:

Budget/Compact: Suzuki Fronx

Compact Family: Toyota Urban Cruiser

Family: BMW X1

Premium: Mercedes-Benz GLC

Adventure Sports-Utility Vehicle: Mahindra Scorpio-N

4×4 Double-Cab: Volkswagen Amarok

The Mahindra Scorpio-N also won the Motor Enthusiasts Choice Award, which was determined by public votes in a social media campaign.

After securing victory in the thirty-eighth edition of the COTY competition this year, BMW now holds the record for the most overall wins, having triumphed in six previous years, namely 1988, 1990, 1993, 1997, 2001 and 2011.

The SAGMJ COTY competition started in 1986.
