This year marks NACTOY’s 30th anniversary. In July, the organization released the first list of 52 automobiles that qualified for the prizes. This list was whittled down to 25 cars that were named “The Best of 2024” at the Detroit Auto Show in September. It was then further reduced to 9 exceptional finalists, who made their announcement at the Los Angeles Auto Show. NACTOY jurors used their knowledge and experience to vote for the 2024 NACTOY award winners by spending hundreds of hours researching, test driving, and assessing cars on automotive innovation, design, safety, performance, technology, driver satisfaction, user experience, and value.
According to NACTOY President Jeff Gilbert, “Our winners demonstrate the fact that a modern vehicle must be a combination of style, utility, and technology.” “I applaud the fifty jurors for their superb selections.”
