    Indian Car of the Year (ICOTY) 2021 winners to be announced on 26 February

    Despite a gloomy year, there were quite a few significant car launches in the year 2020. Almost every segment witnessed new entrants or the existing models being updated with a fresh look and new-age features. But, which was the car that really stood out amongst the crowd? This brings us to Indian Car of the Year (ICOTY) which is the most prestigious award of the year in the automotive industry.

    Last year, the Hyundai Venue was crowned as the 2020 ICOTY whereas the BMW 3 Series luxury sedan took the throne in the premium car segment. The Maruti Suzuki Swift remains the only car to be awarded the ICOTY award for every generation.

    Since the EVs and hybrids are picking up pace in the country, there is a special Green Car Award with the contestants being – Hyundai Kona, MG ZS EV, Tata Nexon EV, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Mercedes-Benz EQC, and the Lexus ES 300h.
