25 Feb 2025|740 views
2025 marks the second year that the Sgcarmart Annual Awards is being held over a span of two days. While day one saw some of the biggest names in Singapore's automotive aftermarket sector gathering at Mandarin Oriental, day two, which was held on 21 February 2025 was dedicated to the leading car models that were introduced in 2024.
With over 120 guests from more than 20 different entities within the automotive industry, the industry greats were all present at the Mandarin Oriental's ballroom, anticipating their products to be recognised and crowned as the cream of the crop.
A total of 33 awards were given out to some of the best cars that were introduced here in the past year
For this year's awards, 79 cars are vying for a total of 33 awards, including 28 categories and five special awards that include the Editorial Pick, Sgcarmart's Top Viewed Model, Most Improved Car of the Year, Best Electric Newcomer, and the coveted Car of the Year award.
With performances and great company, spirits were high throughout the night
A slew of activities including a snazzy photo booth, stunning stage performances and lucky draws with many attractive prizes keep the spirits high as the awards were given out to the deserving car models throughout the special night.
All cars have been carefully evaluated based on a total of eight criteria that include the votes of Sgcarmart’s vast pool of readers
All cars were evaluated based on a total of eight criteria by the panel of judges from Sgcarmart's Editorial team. Scores were given to each car based on its design, features, performance, economy, safety features, functionality, and value for money. The scores given by the judges accounts for 50% of final score that each car gets, the other half of the score is derived from consumer votes. As a result, each winner is not only Sgcarmart's choice, but also the absolute choice of consumers who represent the drivers and car buyers in Singapore. And the unanimous choice for the ultimate award of the Sgcarmart Car of the Year 2024 is the BYD Seal Electric.
