Should be a easy win for ROXX. I know i will be biased being one of the earliest owners, but I do feel it has delivered on the hype it created.

The voting pattern agrees to my thought.

re: Team-BHP Car of the Year, 2024 | EDIT: It's the Thar Roxx

Voted for the Dzire, though it was a toss up between Dzire and Thar Roxx.

Dzire gets my vote over the Roxx for the sheer surprise element of Maruti churning out a 5* rated car, and the change in the Audi'sque design which has finally made this iteration of Dzire to have an individuality of its own rather than sharing the Swift genetic.
So it is only fair to support the Maruti stable for their astounding deviation from normal.
It has the potential to revive the sedan segment single-handedly and I hope it lives to its potential.

If I had been given a choice of selecting the 2 best cars, it would have been the Thar Roxx and the Dzire.
But like with all cases, the underdog always wins the vote.
It would have been more exciting, and of course more complicated, if we were to rank rather than pick the top one.

Vote goes to the Maruti Suzuki Dzire solely for overcoming the mass market and taxi car image to a car which is stylish and feels premium. I say this as an owner of the 2012 Swift Dzire. Also credit has to be given to Maruti for making a 5 star safety rated car

My car of the year will be BYD Seal . The reason for my vote :
- well engineered product
- performance and technology
- killer price
- Value for money

I voted for Thar Roxx. This car took me to the Mahindra showroom multiple times even though I am not in the market for a new car.

Another car surprised me when I saw it on the road was MG Windsor.

re: Team-BHP Car of the Year, 2024 | EDIT: It's the Thar Roxx

It's incredible that the most discussed cars in the Car of the Year thread are all Indian and Chinese! I never thought European, American, and Japanese manufacturers would cede the space so quickly and easily!

I voted for the BYD Seal! In my opinion, it's simply the most enjoyable car under 1 crore right now. It's the closest thing to a supercar that most of us can experience. However, for these same reasons, it's impractical on our roads, and I can't buy it despite loving it!

re: Team-BHP Car of the Year, 2024 | EDIT: It's the Thar Roxx

Voted for Thar ROXX.

Mahindra came a long way from original Willy's jeep & done some incredible job in making Thar ROXX appealing to every section of the society.

What I liked most is, Mahindra is able to make the vehicle likeable to masses which otherwise was only for enthusiasts.

Another reason it lived to its reputation of making only SUVs & still manage to achieve big numbers & remain in the top 5 car makers list.

re: Team-BHP Car of the Year, 2024 | EDIT: It's the Thar Roxx

Voted for the Windsor. The Mahindra EV twins might have already stolen the limelight, but Windsor broke the stagnation setting in via the Tata monopoly. Probably might have pushed Mahindra towards their killer starting prices too.

Either ways, a wonderful effort to reignite the EV sector and start taking it mainstream.

The Roxx is of course going to be the popular choice, but in 2024, the most impactful EV feels more relevant to me. Also, biased by the fact that I have never driven a proper SUV, so I don't know what I'm missing out on

Well well well! Looks like the polls for this year are already sorted!!

Does it mean the makers are shying away from introducing new exciting models in Indian market or whether M&M has got their SUV game so spot on that there is no other contender even in any other segement that can enthuse and lure the Indian car community?!?!

re: Team-BHP Car of the Year, 2024 | EDIT: It's the Thar Roxx

Voted for the Citroen Basalt...

I may be in a minority as per this report, but then there are several reasons that have compelled me. First, it was completely unexpected and a very bold decision to have such a car from Citroen, a company that has been unable to establish its foothold in India so far. Secondly, the legroom at the rear seems far better than what is available on the Curvv. Since it may not be the most popular choice for many, the cars are likely to be available easily, without having to wait

The shape of a vehicle is entirely about getting used to seeing it everyday, unless it is absolutely atrocious! Most people will get the hang of this vehicle too. Features could be more, but then what isn't possible in the aftermarket of today?

Voted for Roxx, It was a tough competition between Roxx and Desire, the only downside for Desire is 3 cylinder engine. Maruti should have given an option for choosing 4 cylinder engine with slight premium, have won lot more customers.

Voted for Tata Curvv as it has created a new segment in the CSUV space. It is a well sorted car with great features and good for everyday drive.

My vote for COTY goes to M&M Thar Roxx MY24 for its sturdy looks, body design, bright cabin, Off-roading experiences, powerful engine and of course boot space which was missing in older version. M&M has come a long way to have such world class cars.

Can we have the option of NOTA. Frankly, none of the car deserves COTY award. Why are has beens like Thar Roxx and Dzire leading the race? Frankly, I want to run the campaign for NOTA, if its not too much of an offense.

My vote goes to Thar Roxx.
An absolute winner that adds more value to the already magnificent Thar.
A remarkable Indian auto triumph.
A thing of desire.
