The 2019 Wards 10 Best Interiors List has just been announced @ https://www.wardsauto.com/2019-ward...s-highlight-2019-wards-10-best-interiors-list
Our beloved Jeep Gladiator has made the list!
Article:
This year's competition saw 32 nominated interiors that were all-new or significantly redesigned for the U.S. market. It’s the ninth year for the Wards 10 Best Interiors competition.
CUVs and SUVs might be all the rage in the U.S. market, but the 2019 Wards 10 Best Interiors list finds several automakers still eager to deliver beautifully executed sedans and coupes with passenger compartments that are sleek, stylish and alluring.
Eight Wards editors based in Southfield, MI, selected the best interiors from a list of 32 nominated vehicles with all-new or significantly improved cabins available in the U.S.
Test drives in Metro Detroit were conducted in February and March, and judges scored each vehicle on design aesthetic, comfort, ergonomics, materials, fit-and-finish and the user-friendliness of displays and controls. There is no price cap for 10 Best Interiors.
This year’s honorees in alphabetical order (price listed as tested):
This spring, Jeep is offering its first pickup truck in 27 years, the all-new Gladiator (pictured above), and it’s much more than a Wrangler SUV with a bed attached to the back.
Yes, much of the Wrangler’s content from the B-pillar forward is the same, but the second row is completely new, with loads of clever storage options.
The second-row seats were redesigned to fold down for storage behind and for seat bottoms to lift up for storage below. The optional floor bins can be locked, and the seatbacks can be locked in place as well to secure goods stashed behind them, such as the optional wireless Bluetooth speaker that can be removed for trailhead entertainment.
All these locks may sound excessive, but they provide peace of mind deep in the wilderness for those who will leave their vehicles unattended perhaps for days.
Did we mention that every Gladiator is convertible? Yes, either the soft top folds back quickly and easily, or the hard-top “Freedom Panels” pull off to enjoy the great outdoors.
