Tannistest 2020

Every autumn, a very important event – the Tannistest – takes place amongst European motor journalists in the northern part of Denmark. This year, the event begins on Saturday, September 21 and ends on Thursday, September 26. During this event, the Car of the Year jury members have the possibility to test and compare the candidate cars for his or her personal judgement and to meet colleagues from the industry for discussions. All the important candidates are present, in most cases in many different versions.

Location

The headquarters of the test is the Tannishus Hotel in the northern part of Jutland. The hotel was originally built in 1896, but since then it has expanded and been refurbished several times. Today the hotel offers more than a hundred well-equipped apartments with shower and toilet. An indoor swimming-pool is also available.

The hotel is located only 200 meters from one of the most impressive beaches in Denmark. Among others, it is a perfect site for photographing the cars. The surrounding countryside is full of different types of public roads, the most suitable grounds for testing cars in normal traffic conditions.
