15 of the world's newest and best sport/utility vehicles went head to head recently for the 2011 Motor Trend title, and it's no surprise that the Porsche Cayenne walked away with the crown.
To be clear, this is not a popularity contest. Every year, Motor Trend's editors put all of the latest Sport/Utility vehicles of the year under a high-power microscope to determine who legitimately belongs at the top of the list.
"Our Sport/Utility of the Year evaluation is not a comparison test," said Angus MacKenzie, Motor Trend editor-in-chief. "Each contender is evaluated against six criteria - Advancement in Design, Engineering Excellence, Efficiency, Safety, Value, and Performance of Intended Function. With strong showings in the engineering and efficiency areas, an attractive exterior, a thoughtful interior design, a full roster of active and passive safety gear and a high value rating on its opening price, the Cayenne was quite obviously the winner. The fact that the Cayenne's driving experience eclipsed that of every other contender was just a bonus."
