The European Car of the Year award is an international Car of the Year award established in 1964 by a collective of automobile magazines from different countries in Europe. The current organising companies of the award are Auto (Italy), Autocar (United Kingdom), Autopista (Spain), Autovisie (Netherlands), L'Automobile Magazine (France), Stern (Germany) and Vi Bilägare (Sweden).[1]
The voting jury consists of motoring journalists from publications throughout Europe. Representation from each country is based on the size of the country's car market, and car manufacturing industry. There are no categories or class winners — the stated objective is to find a "single, decisive winner" among all competing cars. Since 1977,[2] the jury gathers every late September at Hotel Tannishus in Tversted, Denmark to compare and test drive most of the eligible cars, an event also known as the Tannistest.[3] Besides driving on public roads, the jury has the opportunity to do a moose test on Sindal Airport.[4]
The 2024 European Car of the Year was announced on 26 February 2024 in Geneva the winner being the Renault Scenic E-Tech.[5]
