Whenever we give out our Best of Award, we focus on quality, innovation and value, and all six of these nominees have checked all those boxes. Our editors spend all year driving, testing and reporting on virtually every new car, truck and SUV on the market, and and weíve winnowed that list to a small group of standout contenders. Itís a tough set of arguments every year, and itís never easy to pick a winner. Here are this year’s nominees:
We will reveal the winner at our awards event in Detroit on Jan. 13 during the North American International Auto Show, and of course, here on Cars.com.
