Honour Roll
Torque, Singapore’s leading motoring monthly, presented trophies to the 10 “Best in Class” winners at the ST-Torque Awards 2017, including the coveted Straits Times Car of the Year 2017 award, which went to the Lexus LC500.
For the seventh year running, Torque partnered with The Straits Times (ST) to select the best new cars of the year, using a robust voting system that sets the gold standard for automotive awards in the Singapore context.
The ST Car of the Year and the collaborative ST-Torque Awards are the country’s most authoritative editorial recognition of vehicular excellence.
The shortlisted contenders were rated against their typical rivals based on nine criteria: performance, handling, ride, build quality, ergonomics, styling, efficiency/economy, value for money and the X factor.
The awards ceremony, which took place last month at SPH Media Centre, was attended by over 50 invited guests from the motor trade.
There were 12 judges on the ST-Torque Awards 2017 panel, headed by Christopher Tan. He is senior transport correspondent of The Straits Times, consulting editor at Torque magazine and Singapore’s foremost motoring journalist for the past 30 years.
