WHY THIS ORDER?
THE RECEIPTS, NOT THE MYSTERY.
SummaRank compared instrumented road testing, safety results, usability, ownership value, and current manufacturer specifications, using current material from Car and Driver, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the linked official or research references. Each contender was scored independently on the same five-part scorecard: Performance 25%, Comfort 20%, Usability 20%, Quality 20%, Value 15%. The weighted total determines the published order from highest to lowest; criterion strengths are not assigned by rank position, and verified community voting can make a limited, visible adjustment.
