Zooming with DRIVEN Car Guide is back for a limited-run series! If you're not up to date, check out the first episode here , the second episode here and the third episode here.

Our 2023 AA DRIVEN Car Guide New Zealand Car of the Year programme, this year sponsored by Winger Motors, is now reaching the really exciting bits. Just one week to go until all is revealed!

This week Sam, Dean and David are in the studio to look at the finalists for the LCV, Luxury and Safest Car categories, as well as the Peoples Choice award that gives our readers (that's you!) a chance to have your say and go in the draw to win $5000 fuel or charge credit.

As always, we also take a look at this Saturday's print issue, which showcases Cadillac's return to NZ with the very grand Lyriq electric SUV.

And look out for Zooming next Friday, December 1: it's the grand final, with class victors revealed and announcement of the overall winner.

And if you're keen on winning $5000 of fuel or EV charge, vote in our Peoples Choice award. You can do that using the voting form here - but be quick, because voting closes at 10am on Monday November 27.
