“The competition for these awards will be fierce this year,” said NACTOY President Jeff Gilbert in a written statement from the organization. “We have a well-balanced crop of EVs, hybrids and gasoline-powered vehicles. It will be hard to narrow each category down to just one winner – they’re all great choices.”

Winners will be voted on by the 50 automotive journalists that make up the NACTOY awards and will be announced on January 10, 2025, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
