The Car of the Year awards was started in 2002 by a group of automotive journalists mostly from the editorial team of the Cars, Bikes & Trucks section of the New Sunday Times. The event was sponsored by Aideah Communication Sdn Bhd which at that time provided the editorial and marketing services of the Cars, Bikes & trucks section to the New Straits Times.
