The Top 10 finalists for the Japan Car of the Year 2020-2021 has been revealed. Considered as Japan’s most prestigious car award, the following ten cars advanced to the final around after besting 33 eligible entries.

Aside from the main prize, JCOTY will also award four more category awards: Design Car of the Year, Technology Car of the Year, Performance Car of the Year, and Kei Car of the Year.
In order of nomination they are:
- Subaru Levorg

- Mazda MX-30
- Audi e-tron Sportback
- BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

"The Top 10 finalists will be tested back-to-back at the Sodegaura Forest Raceway in China Prefecture next week. The eventual winner will be announced on December 7."
