I wouldn't worry too much about any of MT's Car, Truck or SUV of the Year ratings. Let's see for Car of the Year in 1974 they picked the Mustang 2, in '83 the Renault Alliance, the Chevy Malibu in '97, among other duds.
The Nissan is not bad though, it does do a lot of things well. It may not have the cache or off-road prowess of a Hummer, but it's not a bad vehicle. Still I would have voted for the H3.
Besides who cares what MT or any magazine thinks, drive what you like!
