“Our annual Drivers’ Choice Awards look at vehicles from a buyer’s point of view. We are aware of trends and innovations, and they play a large part in our selection process,” said MotorWeek host, John Davis. “We also understand that consumers want value and reliability and that’s where we believe the Kia Stinger hits the sweet spot. It’s practical, great to look at, and can be a performance car or an everyday driver, depending on who’s behind the wheel. Our aim is to produce a list of winners that makes sense, and can be used as a practical guide for car shopping.”
According to Kia, the editorial staff of MotorWeek determined the winners on several categories including dollar value, fuel efficiency, driving dynamics, technology, performance, and practicality. A total of 150 sport utility vehicles, trucks, and cars were reviewed by the staff.
