NAIAS makes January return

The North American International Auto Show opened its Media Day by announcing the North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle of the Year.

Returning to its January roots, the show will open to the public on Saturday, January 11 and run until January 20, 2025, at Huntington Place in Detroit.

The Honda Civic Hybrid was named the North American Car of the Year. The North American Truck of the Year is the Ford Ranger, and the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year is the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.

The vehicles are selected after jurors spent the year test driving, researching and evaluating vehicles on criteria including automotive innovation, design, safety, performance, technology, driver satisfaction, user experience and value.

This year, the auto show features over 22 brands of vehicles.

“Through this blended automaker and dealer participation, we’re able to give attendees a totally immersive experience in some of the most exciting products available on the market today — whether that’s comparing a variety of propulsion systems on one of four tracks to seeing hundreds of brand-defining vehicles, up-close-and-personal and all in one place,” said Karl Zimmermann Detroit Auto Show Chairman.
