The North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year are a set of automotive awards announced at a news conference each January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The jury consists of no more than 60 automotive journalists from the US and Canada. [1]
In 2016, a board of directors was created and the award became a 501 6(c) corporation. The new Board consists of: Mark Phelan, President; Matt DeLorenzo, Vice President; and Lauren Fix, Secretary / Treasurer.
For 2017 a new category was added to this award: Utility, with the Chrysler Pacifica the first winner.
For each award and year, the winner is shown at the top in bold, with the other finalists in italics in a bulleted list below.
