Among the new cars released last month, the new Bentley Bentayga, Jaguar The New F-Type, and Volkswagen New T-Roc (listed in brand alphabetical order) were nominated for February's Car of the Month. Among them, the new T-Roc was finally selected as the Car of the Month for February with a score of 17.3 points out of 25.
