MOST car buyers weigh up potential purchases by comparing similar models, which makes the value of a Driver Power class win significant for drivers and manufacturers alike. It’s just one of many ways to cut the data that the survey generates, but perhaps it’s the most realistic way to look at the results from a consumer perspective.
We’ve split our results into a total of nine different vehicle classes this year, ranging from the smallest city cars at one end of the scale, to large SUVs and executive models at the other. The class breakdown covers all the models that make it into the Driver Power top 50 rankings this year, but as you’d probably expect it’s the small and mid-large SUV segments with the greatest number of contenders. The supermini segment is also very well represented though.
As you can see on these pages, Toyota can take credit for the most class
