2021 LUXURY FULL-SIZE SUV OF THE YEAR

BMW X7 - Cadillac Escalade - Mercedes-Benz GLS

The full-size luxury SUV segment is not the most coveted in the industry, but for those who offer a player in it, it represents a unique opportunity to showcase their expertise. And our three finalists are fine examples of this, because in each case, we're talking about models that frankly impressed us. They are the Cadillac Escalade, BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS respectively.

2021 MIDSIZE PICKUP OF THE YEAR

Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon - Jeep Gladiator – Toyota Tacoma

The midsize pickup segment has gone through ups and downs over the past 20 years, but since 2015, we've seen its renaissance. It's now populated by more players, and it's not easy to separate the best from the worst, as all models are interesting. This year, it's between the Toyota Tacoma, the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon duo and the Jeep Gladiator.
