The voting process revealed six winners in six different categories, including urban model, performance car, large SUV, large Car, family SUV and 4×4. The jurors stated that “no vote was given at random,” as each vehicle was subjected to “demanding driving tests, detailed analysis, and careful comparative assessments.”
