The 2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport received the highest honors in the Luxury Sport Utility category.

The Motorist Choice Awards were designed to recognize the vehicles that deliver the highest customer satisfaction as well as the lowest cost of ownership. The awards take AutoPacific's owner satisfaction data from new vehicle buyers and combine it with Intellichoice.com's cost of ownership data to create an award that “speaks to the hearts and wallets” of vehicle buyers.

AutoPacific surveys 45 different vehicle ownership attributes, 38 are product-focused while the remaining seven focus on cost attributes including depreciation, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, repairs and state fees. Intellichoice.com rates vehicles based on total ownership cost relative to the vehicles total expected cost.
