Description
Summary:Purchasing and selecting of vehicles especially cars in the market is a tough decision to make due to the variety of the operational and technical parameter specifications such as design, body shape, technology used, and many more. Therefore, selection procedure techniques are required in order to overcome this problem. In the decision-making model, Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is one of the selection procedure techniques to be embraced into this study. This technique provides a base for decision-making processes where there are limited numbers of choices but each has a large number of attributes. In this project, the selected vehicles were ranked based on their segments. The best car for sedan is Proton Persona, Proton Iriz was ranked as the best hatchback, Perodua Alza is the best MPV and Perodua Aruz was ranked as the best SUV. This result was based on the main criteria which are cost and total displacement, then follow by seat capacity, boot capacity, and top speed of the vehicle.
