Winner of the Car-Of-The-Year will be announced on Thursday night, November 26, 2015 inside the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The Nigeria Car of the Year competition has been around over the years and the strictest criteria apply to the finalists. To appraise and select the winner, each car of the listed cars will thoroughly be put through its paces on the road by the motoring journalists. To emerge tops, the car that will win the shield will have to tick all the boxes in terms of value for money, safety, innovation, technology and dynamics.

During the test drive, a number of factors will be used as parameters to select the car that would be selected as the eventual winners as “Car-Of-The-Year’’ in Nigeria. These factors include, but not limited to each car’s value proposition in terms of road handling, stability, functionality, comfort, safety features, overall design, availability and accessibility of spare parts and product affordability.

The NAJA Award which is the most respected automotive award in Nigeria held annually attracts a lot of excitement and suspense among stakeholders within and outside the industry. It is coming at a time when the Nigerian government’s automotive policy is gaining traction.
