Car Awards Group Inc. (CAGI) commences its testing season in search for this year’s Car of the Year/Truck of the Year awardees. The tests are held inside Clark Freeport Zone where they subject the participating vehicles (Mitsubishi, Honda, and more) in a series of qualitative and technical testing.

For those unfamiliar, CAGI aims to determine and pick out the best car and the best truck out of all the participants by putting them to real-world tests and grading each accordingly. There are many factors involved — design, ergonomics, access, driving dynamics, and response, to name a few. After testing the vehicles, jurors will be voting to find out which car and truck deserve to be recognized from among its peers.

“With the consumer in mind, we worked with KPMG to refine the scoring process and methodology. CAGI’s jurors are rating the vehicles based on the same criteria used by the car buyers and testing the vehicles in “real world” road conditions. A secret ballot ensures that the vote cast is free from the pressures due to relations and influence” said CAGI president Robby Consunji. “To determine the award-winning car, we assigned weights to the testing criteria just like a car buyer would do. The consumers can look forward to a proclamation of the award winning car and truck at the COTY Awards Night on November 13 at Fontana.” he added.

Below are some of the initial vehicles competing for the following awards:

TOTY:

  • All-new Mitsubishi Strada (four variants)
  • Tata Xenon XT 4×2

COTY:

  • Toyota Alphard
  • Toyota Avanza
  • Honda HR-V (1.8 EL CVT/1.8 E CVT)
  • Honda Mobilio (1.5 V CVT/1.5 RS Navi CVT)
  • Honda Odyssey (EX-V Navi luxury MPV)
  • Volvo S60 D4
  • Volvo XC60
  • BYD QIN (sports hybrid)
