The association that comprises 48 newspapers, TV stations and magazines tested 58 vehicles from 21 brands from late last year at three separate test-drive sessions. The Palisade scored 93.33 out of 100 points in the comprehensive test, it added.

In the imported car category, Mercedes-Benz’s New CLS was named Foreign Car of the Year and won the award for best car design. Hyundai’s latest fuel cell vehicle Nexo was named Green Car of the Year while the carmaker’s compact performance vehicle Veloster N won for best performance car.
