about car list
2021 has been a year of trying to find the new normal. And while we're still some way from seeing the end of this global pandemic, it's clear from the increase in new cars this year that manufacturers are pushing ahead into the future.

The electric push is clear – there's more than twice as many nominated all-electric models compared to last year. And with the continued growth of the SUV segment, along with more electrified models across the landscape, it's clear where the industry is headed.

Of course, we've continued to be busy this year reviewing new cars to discern the good, the bad and the ugly. For this 12th instalment of the Car of the Year awards, the same rules and regulations apply - only cars that were launched and tested before October 2021 will qualify for sgCarMart's Car of the Year Awards.

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. After all, without drivers to use them, cars are simply just chunks of metal. And it is in driving these cars that truly determine their quality and appeal.

So, be sure to cast your vote for your favourite cars of 2021! 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.
spacer The annual Car of the Year bookends a long and busy year filled with ample changes and endless growth. As the automotive and media landscape continues to change, so too does the SGCM Editorial Team. We've continued to expand our content, from growing our Youtube presence, additional commentary pieces, and even delving into motorbikes as well. Most importantly, we strive to continue to deliver interesting, engaging and exciting content, and to ensure that we recognise and chart the everchanging trends of our times.

The Car of the Year awards are more than simply picking one car over another. It's also about recognising the technological and engineering achievements across the various car brands, and measuring how these developments are changing the ways that we use cars, we live with cars, and even the ways we think about cars.

Throughout this process, the Editorial 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. You can be sure that we'll continue to review cars and bring you content just the way you want them.

So, cast your votes now!
