These editors have driven hundreds of vehicles with over 75 years of combined experience. With this is mind, it isn't really a surprise that they came to the conclusion of which SUV is truly the best of the year.

Autobytel says that the Jeep Wrangler has “always been the ultimate SUV.” No matter what terrain gets put in front of it, it has always been able to handle it. Wrangler has always been a preference of the editors of the website, but the 2012 model had something extra that really pushed them to loving it. The addition that really gave the Wrangler the edge, though, was the addition of the powerful Pentastar V-6 engine. This new power-train delivers not only amazing power but also is fantastic with fuel economy. The editors also took note that the Wrangler is an “easy open-air drive, and, like its predecessors dating back to 1941, the 2012 Wrangler can still be enjoyed with the windshield folded down and the doors removed.”

The Jeep Wrangler has always been a magnet for awards. It is never surprising when auto enthusiast walk away from riding inside of one with such a positive attitude. After reading the reasoning behind Autobytel's choosing of it for their “2012 SUV of the Year” it is clear to see that they have been long-time fans. This award proves that won't be changing anytime soon.
