Judging Criteria
Of the total of 98 cars in 32 categories that have been shortlisted in this edition of the Sgcarmart Car of the Year competition, one car will emerge to hold the coveted title of Sgcarmart's 2022 Car of the Year. The annual Sgcarmart Car of the Year recognises each car manufacturer's efforts and creativity in bringing their cars to a higher level in terms of design, efficiency, versatility and value for money.

  • Average price
  • Features
  • Performance
  • Fuel Economy
  • Size
  • Safety features


The eight criterion is where you guys, our readers, are involved. In order for fair competition to take place, Consumer Voting will hold a massive 65% of the total score, which means your votes play a huge role in determining the winners. Our judges are always on the hunt for perfection, so be sure to pay extra attention to detail and overall professionalism. Our judges will be keeping a lookout for your votes.

About Car of the Year 2022
As we edge closer towards a post-pandemic world, 2022 has been a year marked by costs, automotive or otherwise. However, there is no slowing down the rapidly evolving automotive industry, and this 13th instalment of our annual Sgcarmart Car of the Year certainly reflects that.

Unsurprisingly, 2022 has seen even more electric cars being launched in Singapore, which is reflected in the doubling of categories on that front. And as we take stock of the way the industry is involving, EVs will continue to make up more and more of the cars on our roads.

The Car of the Year awards close out a busy year of ample change. As we continue to grow our media presence across all digital platforms (follow us on TikTok!), the dedication to delivering interesting, engaging and exciting content will never waver.

And beyond simply picking winners in categories, the Car of the Year awards is also an opportunity to recognise and highlight the various achievements from all the automotive brands, as well as to evaluate our continually evolving relationship with our vehicles.
Throughout this process, the Media Team will be diligent in our assessment to ensure that the results accurately reflect not just our opinions, but the opinions of most car buyers as well. After all, we are Sgcarmart, Singapore's number one automotive portal.

As always, we invite you, our readers and viewers, to play your part in deciding which cars should be the king of their respective segments. So, be sure to cast your vote for your favourite cars of 2022! There are also prizes up for grabs for some lucky voters, so be sure to take a comprehensive look at all the nominees this year and tell us which are your favourites.

So, get voting now!
For the love of stirring cars, cold beer and fun times,
