Vehicles were measured by six criteria: design, engineering excellence, efficiency, active and passive safety, value, performance of intended function. The SUV of the year title ultimately went to the Chevy Blazer EV. Kelly asks Ed what he thinks about the Apple CarPlay swap Chevy made for Google integration.
