(WXYZ) — The North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year announced its “Best of 2024” vehicles at the Detroit Auto Show on Wednesday.
The "best of" list was known previously as the semifinalists round. There are 10 cars, five trucks and 10 utility vehicles that will advance to the final round.
The finalists will be announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 16 and the winners will be announced at a NACTOY event on January 4, 2024.
The NACTOY board of directors, along with the Detroit Auto Dealers Association, also announced a $40,000 donation to celebrate their 30th anniversary. The donation will reportedly be distributed across four charities including Tunnels to Towers Foundation, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Pope Francis Center, and Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit.
“The value of these awards is in the expertise and diverse perspectives of our jurors,” said NACTOY president Jeff Gilbert. “We all evaluate vehicles in a different way. In the end, we come to a consensus. The vehicles on this list are worthy of further evaluation, and we look forward to spending more time driving them, learning more about them and comparing them with the competition.”
