And before I start to explain why it won, Ill just say that car model years are a bit silly..

You are buying 2024 Model Year cars in 2023 and these models will progress for a few months through 2024 before being replaced by the 2025 model..

The ICOTY awards were held at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai and were sponsored by JK Tyre, which has supported the awards for the 19 years since its inception with JK Tyre Chairman Raghupati Singhania handing out the prizes...

For the record, the jury members of the ICOTY 2024 were Yogendra Pratap and Rahul Ghosh from Auto Today; Dhruv Behl and Ishan Raghava from AutoX; Aspi Bhatena and Joshua Varghese from Car India; Sirish Chandran and Atish Mishra from Evo India; Pablo Chaterji and Kartik Ware from Motoring; Bob Rupani and Rohit Paradkar from Overdrive these automotive publications being the partners of the award..
