Engineering Excellence: MotorTrend looks at how well the vehicle is built, as well as its ability to fit the people and things you need day to day.

Efficiency: A vehicle’s mpg and mpg-e, charge speed, range, operating costs and weight all factor into this category.

Safety: Among other things, MotorTrend tests everything from basics like emergency stops and lane changes to how well advanced driver assistance features perform.

Value: This category is relative to each buyer and segment, and whether the vehicle offers a good bang for your buck.

Performance of Intended Function: This can vary from segment to segment, and looks at how a vehicle does the job it’s intended to do.
