2021 NACTOY eligibility lists

It’s still only June 2020, but already the contenders for the 2021 North American Car of the Year, Truck of the Year and Utility Vehicle of the Year have been announced.

As might be expected, the Utility Vehicle category is the most crowded with twenty-three candidates. By comparison, the Car award has ten participants, while just three are vying for the Truck prize.

To take part, models have to be either totally or substantially new and available to buy from dealers before the end of this year. Organisers expect that the lists will grow over the coming months as pandemic-delayed product launches happen.

The selection process begins in September, when fifty jurors from Canada and the United States are going to participate in an initial vote to choose the semi-finalists. That result is due to be declared in November.
