About MotorTrend
About MotorTrend Established in 1949 by bona fide car guy and noted Los Angeles businessman Robert E. 'Pete' Petersen, MotorTrend has driven, tested, and reported on auto industry trends from the very beginning. That spirit of bringing readers closer to the cars of today and tomorrow still shines through in everything we do. 0:00 / 0:00 Anchored by the 75-plus-year-old MotorTrend magazine and our world-famous 'Of The Year' award programs, we're all about informing, entertaining, and empowering everyone from the most casual car buyer to the hardcore enthusiast.

The ratings are augmented by a wealth of information and tools designed to help car shoppers find the best vehicle for their needs.

More recently, we've been recognizing the best and brightest individuals transforming the future of the automotive universe and the technologies they're developing through the MotorTrend Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) Innovator Awards. The SDV awards identify, elevate, and celebrate those leading the automotive industry's paradigm shift from hardware to software after an intensive selection process by our senior editorial staff. Our newest accolades are our Best Tech awards, which seek out the most impressive automotive software and technologies on the market. Winners are chosen based on innovation, user experience, usefulness, value, and where applicable, safety and privacy. MotorTrend also has an extensive Buyer's Guide shopping portal headlined by our Ultimate Car Rankings—our sophisticated car-ratings system designed to help you find a new car in a way only MotorTrend can. The best rankings system in the business empowers consumers and No. 1-ranked brands alike across 50 segments and 300 vehicles scored.
