These are the cars under consideration for North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Every year, a group of auto journalists (including Roadshow's Chris Paukert) gets together and votes on the North American Car and Truck of the Year award. This year has expanded to include a separate SUV category. These are all the cars that qualify for the award, which will be handed out at the Detroit auto show in January.

Andrew Krok
Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Three trim levels, three ride heights, just one body. Why yes, this is a little confusing.

Also helping to increase rigidity and lower NVH is the greater use of structural adhesives.
