The International Engine of the Year Award is an annual competition in which a number of auto journalists from all over the world award the best engines in various categories. It has been organized by Great Britain's largest automobile manufacturers since 1999 and has since become a prestigious award.
The award is based on the subjective driving experience and the technical expertise of the jurors. The fuel economy, soft response, power output, noise and drivability also contribute to the result. Each juror can award a maximum of 25 points to his 5 favorite engines in each category. A maximum of 15 points may be awarded to an engine. Performance and consumption data are based on manufacturer information and are usually determined based on the EU driving cycle .
The manufacturer BMW received the coveted prize by far the most frequently.
