2022 NACTOY winners

After three rounds of voting, the 2022 North American Car of the Year, Truck of the Year and Utility Vehicle of the Year have been declared. A jury of 50 motoring journalists from across Canada and the United States decided all of the winners.

The Honda Civic took the North American Car of the Year title. It beat the Lucid Air and Volkswagen Golf Mk. VIII (Golf R / Golf GTI), the other two models in contention for this award.

Arguably the North American Truck of the Year was the most fascinating category for 2022, because the finalists list comprised a couple of compact pick-ups (the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz) and an electric vehicle from a new brand (the Rivian R1T). In the end, victory went to the Ford Maverick.

Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
