That’s when the expert team at Drive step in to save the day.

Drive is a trusted, non-bias platform for customers, and the team here at Chadstone Toyota want to share with you our favourite New Toyota winnings from the 2020 Drive Car Of The Year awards.

Winner, Best Medium Car of 2020: Toyota Camry SL Hybrid

Defying expectations, our crowd-favourite Toyota Camry SL Hybrid won first price for Drive’s Best Medium Car of 2020. With an emphasis on the model’s spacious interior and jam-packed safety technology, it was a clear stand out next to the nominations in second and third place. Taking home yet another award, the same model secured Drive’s Best Family Car of 2018.

With a range that starts from $32,347 driveaway for the base line Camry Ascent, the award-winning model comprises of more power and fuel efficiency at a lower cost than the Skoda Octavia RS245 Sedan (second place) and Mazda 6 Atenza 2.5L Wagon (third place). Across the Camry family you are given three advanced engines to choose from, buried amongst a sleek body style which is underpinned by Toyota’s New Global Architecture, skyrocketing the bar of what modern comfort should be.

Winner, Best Sports Car Under $100k of 2020: Toyota Supra

The competition was tough for the 2020 Best Sports Car Under $100k with seven vehicles nominated to be in the running, including the Mazda MX-5, Subaru BRZ, Ford Mustang and our very own Toyota 86 GTS Auto. But with a whopping 220KW at 6000rpm of power and a 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine, Drive’s expert judging panel crowned the new Toyota GR Supra as first place and never wanted to get off the racetrack (well, we’d have to assume).

Similarly to the winning Toyota Camry, our Toyota GR Supra has continuously won awards since its launch in 2019. Here’s to name a few:

Australia’s Best Car 2019 – Sports Car $62k – $125k
Drive Car of the Year 2020 – Sports Car Under $125k
