Class Winners

Want to know which city car or SUV performs best in Driver Power? Our breakdown picks out the top buys in eight key classes of the market.

Here we bring together all the results from the Driver Power survey to decide which vehicles are the best in class. 

Each car is rated on practicality, handling, comfort, ease of driving, ride quality, braking, performance running costs and reliability and is only judged against other cars in the same segment.

Jaguar XF or BMW 5-Series? Land Rover Discovery, or Honda CR-V? These are the questions we're hoping to answer. 

Simply click on the links below to find out which cars take class honours.

What’s the Driver Power top 100?
It’s the definitive car ranking – by drivers for drivers. Cars are rated by their owners, and each is then scored on how satisfying it has been to own.

How are results calculated?
Our survey asks drivers to rate their car out of five in 10 key categories. An independent data processing company then crunches the numbers to provide the overall average scores.

Why doesn’t my car feature?
Not all models can be included, due to the sheer number of cars on UK roads. Plus, to ensure our results are reliable, we need a robust sample size of drivers of each vehicle.
