The winners will be revealed at the 2019 New York International Auto Show when it officially opens on April 17, 2019.

Of note, it's a shame the all-new Suzuki Jimny failed to get past the top 10 of the World Car of the Year finalists, though at least it made it into the top three for the World Urban Car and World Car Design of the Year. On the other hand, the Jaguar I-Pace could pull of a grand slam as it is a top three finalist for the main World Car of the Year award as well as for the World Green Car and World Car Design of the Year awards.
