The winners of this year’s Car Dealer Power Awards have been revealed in a special awards video.
The results – which can be seen in the video above – reveal the best car manufacturer to represent and the best car dealer suppliers to do business with.
Also in the special video, hosted by editor James Baggott and associate editor James Batchelor, the car dealers’ Car of the Year is named.

They also voted for their favourite motor trade suppliers, providing citations as to which they liked to work with the most.

The car manufacturer topped our survey, narrowly beating sister firm Hyundai into second place, with impressive scores across 13 categories.
