Mini wins Car of the Year; Ford Ranger bags Truck of the Year plum

The Mini Cooper S bested 70 other vehicles tested by the Car Awards Group, Inc. (CAGI), enabling it to bring home the much coveted title of Car of the Year Philippines (COTY-P). The Awards Night was held on November 24, at the Filinvest Tent in Alabang, Muntinlupa. This Cooper Mini S was the fastest and most luxurious Mini tested at COTY-P, so far, which blew away the competition.

Meanwhile, Ford dominated the Truck of the Year Philippines (TOTY-P) category with the Ranger Wildtrak variants winning the overall title. The Ranger Wiltrak 3.2, with its all-new six-speed manual transmission, also won the titles’ Best 2WD Pickup of the Year and the Best 4WD Pickup of the Year.
