Parkers.Co.UK Awards Toyota C-HR New Car Of The Year 2018
September 20, 2017 by Toyota•Toyota C-HR named the Parkers New Car of The Year 2018 •16 category winners chosen for real-world new-car buyers, not the industry •All-new awards, based on car buyers' lifestages rather than traditional segments •In partnership with Bauer Media radio stations, websites and magazines Wednesday 20 September 2017 Parkers.co.uk, the reviews website that delivers trusted no-nonsense advice for Britain's car-buying public, has announced the Toyota C-HR as the winner in the Parkers New Car Awards 2018. The groundbreaking crossover takes the overall prize, but there are also 16 category winners, ranging from the Best First Car to the Best Car for Thrill-Seekers. The Parkers.co.uk team had a tough job choosing the overall winner, with the C-HR strongly challenged by the Skoda Kodiaq, SEAT Ibiza and BMW 5 Series Touring. But the Toyota took the honours based on its involving drive, futuristic yet practical design, low-cost engine options and long five-year warranty. The Parkers New Car Awards are launched this year, and reflect the views of Britain's car-buying public. The winners were chosen based on the buying habits of the website's 2.9+ million users* actively involved in the buying process. The awards categories have been shaped by constant analysis of Parkers.co.uk traffic. Detailed research shows that 77% of Parkers.co.uk site users consider buying cars from multiple market sectors, destroying the idea of traditional competitors and rivals. Hence the Parkers New Car Awards are not based on conventional segments. Parkers.co.uk research also found that 78% of UK car buyers don't like automotive jargon. As a result there are no categories based on industry terms such as SUV, Crossover and Supermini. Instead, the Parkers New Car Awards are based around car-buying lifestages – for instance Best Car for Small Families or Best Seven-Seater – reflecting how the great British public buy cars to fit their lifestyles.
