DETROIT
-- The North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards organization announced the 26 semifinalists for the awards, which will be announced in January.

The semifinalists were culled from a list of 47 vehicles, which ties for the longest list of eligible vehicles in the awards' history. A record 19 battery-electric vehicles were eligible this year.

Car Semifinalists
  • Acura Integra
  • BMW i4 eDrive40
  • Genesis G80 EV
  • Genesis G90
  • Mercedes-Benz C Class
  • Mercedes-Benz EQE
  • Nissan Z
  • Subaru WRX
  • Toyota Crown
  • Toyota GR Corolla
Truck Semifinalists
  • Chevrolet Silverado ZR2
  • Ford F-150 Lightning
  • Lordstown Endurance
Utility Semifinalists
  • Audi Q4 E-Tron
  • BMW iX xDrive50
  • Cadillac Lyriq
  • Genesis GV60

  • Kia Sportage
  • Lexus RX
  • Mazda CX-50
  • Nissan Ariya

Fifty journalists from the United States and Canada vote on the awards, which are handed out annually. Once the field is narrowed, the semifinalists are tested throughout the fall, with a group test in October. The finalists are announced in November and the awards will be revealed in January in Detroit. Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is a member of the jury.

The Honda Civic (car), Ford Maverick (truck) and Ford Bronco (utility) won the 2022 awards.

It's interesting the T and other trucks didn't make the truck category

Is the list of semi finalists literally every new vehicle on the market (or “substantially improved”)? From their website language, it would appear the R1T doesn’t qualify because it was introduced for MY22. But Lordstown … doesn’t exist, at least with vehicles?

As it should be. If the R1S doesn't win the SUV of the year from every publication something is up. In my unbiased opinion. 😂

This afternoon I finally drove the 14 miles to the Rivian service center to see an R1S in person. All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW. It is an absolutely amazing vehicle. Just stunning in person. There were a half dozen on the lot in various colors and just wow. The photos and videos do not do it justice.

Mine will not be here until who knows when with a Nov 2021 reservation date, but the guys and Inside EVs may be right: best SUV ever made, ever. This thing has to be a hands down favorite for SUV of the year.

They are starting production soon. Was supposed to be this month but I believe it was pushed back. I kinda lost interest in them when they went fleet only sales.

I was offered to drive one of the prototypes but haven't managed to arrange a time to. Maybe they'll have pre-prods in testing by then.

R1S did not make the list of finalists. Those honors go to the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis GV60, and Kia EV6.
