A well-known publication stationed out of the Big Apple, The New York Daily News recently held its second annual Auto Awards. A panel of eight automotive journalists evaluated vehicles currently on the market according to a distinct set of criteria.

The judges ranked vehicles according to how they would recommend those models for a friend, a co-worker, or a family member. From there, the highest-ranked vehicles were categorized by both their class and their intended demographic.

At the end of the examination process, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica was easily the highest-ranked minivan in the industry. This was due to the extensive list of 78 innovations that the Pacifica offered.
