Newsweek Readers’ Choice™ Awards
Newsweek is a weekly news magazine with a rich history that dates back to 1933. Along with Time and U.S. News & World Report, it’s considered one of the “Big Three” of U.S. newsweeklies and reaches millions of readers globally. Each year, they look for consumer favorites with Readers’ Choice™ contests, which they stagger throughout the year with categories in automotive, travel, financial services, lifestyle products, and more.
In the automotive category, the Readers’ Choice™ Awards honor standout automotive brands, as well as specific vehicles. To determine the winners, Newsweek conducts a four-week public voting period. They recognize the top players in terms of quality, performance, design, and ownership experience.
