Only one of the six best 4x4s from 2015 can be crowned 4×4 Of The Year 2016

THE RESULTS

5TH PLACE: NISSAN NAVARA STX – 221 POINTS
Nissan thought outside the box for its new Navara, with coil-spring rear suspension and a bi-turbo diesel donk.

4TH PLACE: MITSUBISHI TRITON EXCEED – 227 POINTS
Good things often come in small packages. Mitsubishi’s MQ Triton proves the point and does it for a good price.

4TH PLACE: TOYOTA FORTUNER GXL – 227POINTS
Fortuner gives buyers of 4×4 wagons an affordable alternative to the Prado, but is it worth your hard-earned?

3RD PLACE: TOYOTA HILUX SR5 – 244 POINTS
When the best-selling 4×4 in the land gets a new model, you take notice. Hiluxes sell like cold beer for a reason!

2ND PLACE: TOYOTA LANDCRUISER PRADO GXL – 250 POINTS
The old Prado keeps on keeping on, even with a smaller 2.8-litre engine fitted to it in its latest update.

WINNER! FORD EVEREST TREND – 259 POINTS
New or updated, the vehicles of 4X4OTY ran a close race – but, in the end, the all-new Ford Everest rose above the pack.
