It is a double joy celebration for Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) as both Nissan Teana and Navara King Cab were named the “Executive Car of The Year” and “Pickup Truck of The Year” respectively at the New Straits Times/ Maybank Car of The Year 2011 Awards Night.

“It is indeed a remarkable moment for ETCM to have achieved such prominent awards and recognitions at this special occasion. It has always been our mission to introduce more new models with the greatest value. Both Nissan Teana and Navara King Cab have garnered numerous prestigious awards throughout the years and this is evidently shown by the overwhelming support from our loyal customers. ETCM will continue to deliver the best to the market.” Dato’ Dr Ang Bon Beng, Executive Director of ETCM said.

A panel of judges took into account criteria such as exterior and interior design, comfort and ergonomics, performance, safety, emotional appeal, and after sales service including the comprehensiveness of its warranty. Only the new and substantially face-lifted models introduced in the country since October 2010 are eligible for the nomination.
