Performance Luxury SUV Of The Year – Range Rover Sport
Our Performance Luxury SUV of the year goes to the Range Rover Sport.
Performance and Luxury are two things that are very difficult to combine. One aspect asks for attention to be put on dynamics and the driver while the other forces engineers to think about passenger comfort. One brand managed to deliver on both fronts this year and it was Land Rover with their all-new Range Rover Sport.
The Range Rover Sport represents a leap forward for the brand. We get the now-familiar 6-cylinder Ingenium engine delivering heaps of power with a mild hybrid ensuring instantaneous torque and lower fuel consumption. The chassis is more than capable of handling very high-speed dynamic driving, but if you need to be a chauffeur for a day, the interior appointments feel utterly sublime. Plus it has the kind of authoritative design that elevates it above its peers.
About VOTY 2024
The Allianz DSF.my Vehicle Of The Year (VOTY) Award ceremony is the first and only vehicle award event in Malaysia that does not hand out paid awards, nor does it charge winners or participating brands any fee whatsoever. Winners are allowed to use the VOTY event logo free of charge in all marketing materials. Event attendees are not even charged for their seat at the award presentation. All car manufacturers that operate in Malaysia are invited to participate free of charge. All they have to do is let our judges test drive their nominated vehicles.
The nominated vehicles must have been launched in Malaysia in the last 12 months and cannot be a localised minor facelift (body-kits, stickers, wheel upgrades, etc). All judging is independent and is put down to a vote before the winners are selected. Car manufacturers are not informed if they are winning or not before the event.
The judges for VOTY 2024 are Daniel Sherman Fernandez and Subhash Nair of dsf.my, Ross Hadi of gohedgostan.com and Joshua Chin of automacha.com.
