After three test days, the Car Awards Group Inc (CAGI) completes its Test Fest phase for the search for the 2016 Car of the Year (COTY)-PH and Truck of the Year (TOTY(-PH.

Held at Nuvali in Santa Rosa, Laguna, the final day of testing saw twenty-six vehicles comprising a wide range of segments. The vehicles range from entries like the Audi Q7 3.0 TDI Quattro, Ford Ranger FX4, Nissan GT-R to the Suzuki Super Carry and Volkswagen Passat, among others.

Each vehicle was put through its paces and subjected to qualitative and quantitative testing. Overseeing the contest was KPMG R.G Manabat & Co who did everything from assigning cars to jurors, collecting scoresheets, tallying the data, and of course, revealing the winners come awards night.

Also on hand to help out was Carmudi.com.ph, the vehicle marketplace where people looking for a brand new or used vehicle can shop for their next ride in a stress-free manner. To make things more interesting, Carmudi.com.ph will be giving away a new Apple iPad 4 to the lucky contestant who can guess the COTY-PH winner.

The Car and Truck of the Year Philippines was also made possible thanks to the support of Ayala Land Premier; NUVALI; Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation; Motolite Batteries; El Cielito Hotel – Sta. Rosa; Manila International Auto Show; Worldbex International; and Speedlab.
