Fifty-one new car models are competing for the Irish Car of the Year 2027, with electric vehicles dominating the shortlist, writes Brian Byrne. The awards, voted by 30 leading motoring media jurors, have been running since 1979.
The awards feature over 10 categories and will be held at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre on November 12th, where the overall winner will be announced. Last year’s winner was the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, continuing a strong run for EVs in recent years.
