It’s certainly a diverse list.

New disrupter brands that have only recently started manufacturing are represented by the pure-electric Lucid Air and Rivian R1T, while the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz have together revived the compact pick-up segment. By contrast, the Honda Civic and Volkswagen Golf exemplify traditional passenger cars.

In alphabetical order, the finalists are:

2022 North American Car of the Year

  • Honda Civic
  • Lucid Air
  • Volkswagen Golf Mk. VIII (Golf R / Golf GTI)
2022 North American Truck of the Year
  • Ford Maverick
  • Hyundai Santa Cruz
  • Rivian R1T
2022 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year
  • Ford Bronco
  • Genesis GV70
  • Hyundai Ioniq 5
The next stage in the process is a final ballot to determine the winners, which is due to close on the 5th of January 2022. The results will then be announced shortly afterwards.
