Eight popular YouTubers, ten cars, but only two will emerge victorious.
Specifically, there are five SUV entrants and five cars in this year’s Automotive Video Awards. Each have their own bits of style, flair and plenty of performance. However, as with any other awards ceremony, they can’t all be winners. To that end, here we are at the second annual Automotive Video Awards, where eight of your favorite automotive YouTubers choose the performance SUV and car of the year.
2018 contenders:
Performance SUV of the Year | Performance Car of the Year |
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio | BMW M5 |
BMW X3 M40i | Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye |
Dodge Durango SRT | Ford Mustang Bullitt |
Maserati Levante GTS | Maserati Quattroporte GTS |
Mercedes-AMG GLC63 | McLaren 720S |
Here’s how the voting works. Each juror casts their vote for the vehicles they want to move on to the next round. One car is voted out each round until the jurors land on a winner. Watch the video above to see how the voting turns out!

The Winners: Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV and McLaren 720S
Ultimately, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio Verde and McLaren 720S emerged as the victors in this year’s awards. The other cars and SUVs have their own way of delivering remarkable performance to their drivers, but these two came out on top.
