Here’s a list of winners for this year’s Allianz DSF VOTY Awards.

Last night, DSF.my held our Allianz DSF Vehicle of the Year (VOTY) 2026 Awards Ceremony. The event marked 18 years of collaboration between Daniel Sherman Fernandez and Allianz Malaysia. VOTY remains the only automotive awards ceremony in Malaysia that does not use a pay-to-participate or pay-to-win model. The ceremony is free to attend with seats allocated to all participating car companies. Participants simply have to let the judges test drive their eligible vehicles and no fee is charged for use of logos or marketing material following the event.
