Motor Trend
Motor Trend is an American automobile magazine. It first appeared in September 1949, and designated the first Car of the Year, also in 1949.
Petersen Publishing Company in Los Angeles published Motor Trend until 1998, when it was sold to British publisher EMAP, who then sold the former Petersen magazines to Primedia Inc. in 2001. Motor Trend bears the tagline "The Magazine for a Motoring World". As of 2024 it is published by Motor Trend Group. It has a monthly circulation of over one million.
Publication was monthly but changed to quarterly in 2024.
In December 2024, Hearst Communications acquired Motor Trend Group and most its assets including Motor Trend from Warner Bros. Discovery.
The contents of Motor Trend magazines are divided up into sections, or departments.
Motor Trend magazine provides its readers with written "road tests" of vehicles. These road tests are published in each issue and are meant to give readers information about the featured vehicle, certain aspects of the vehicle, and what the readers can expect if the featured vehicle is purchased.
There are two main types of Motor Trend vehicle comparisons. Regular comparisons usually compare two to three vehicles, looking at what each is like to own, drive, etc. On Motor Trend's YouTube channel (titled "MotorTrend Channel"), Motor Trend puts up their best comparison of the month on a series called "Head 2 Head," featuring MotorTrend editors comparing cars on YouTube.
"Big Test" comparisons typically feature anywhere from five to seven vehicles, all being compared against each other. In a way, a vehicle comparison is like a large road test featuring many vehicles, rather than just one.
