Wheels Asia-CarBuyers’ Guide - Year 2016

New Trends, New Boundaries - Change is the only constant in life. Just like everything in life, our landscape of roads, transport infrastructure, driver demographics and needs are constantly evolving. There is a constant need to keep track of such shifts, so as to understand the upcoming and popular buying trends that may affect car manufacturers and the critical decisions to cater to the market’s needs for certain types of vehicles.This year’s CarBuyers’ Guide will serve as another great buying bible; an encyclopedia to the masses if I must say. We amaze ourselves sometimes, going through two hundred odd vehicles and never realising how truly diverse our car populace is. Recent studies into the buying demographics have spurred us to revamp our Category Awards section; to include the likes of Executive SUVs and Compact Crossovers, which are making head waves across the globe. Another segment that is receiving a fairly large bit of attention is the Executive Performance Car segment, which sees many closely matched rivals and competitors from the European continent that match ultimate performance and road-going luxury in unparalleled sophistication. In the mood for the new year means that goodness must be shared. Not only will you find your next car to drive in our annual CarBuyers’ Guide, we have an extensive product listing that will surely cover your car’s maintenance through its years. Happy reading, the team wishes you a blast as you flip through 160 pages of automotive goodness!
