Honda Civic, Ford Maverick And Ford Bronco Win 2022 Nactoy Awards
Last year, Ford dominated the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year (NACTOY) awards, with the F-150 winning best truck, Mustang-Mach-E winning best ute, and the Hyundai Elantra rounding out the podium as the best car. Ford is two for three again in 2022, with the new Maverick compact pickup winning the truck category, and Bronco winning for utility, with the newly updated Honda Civic winning the car segment.
The 2022 Honda Civic, which is again available as a sedan or hatchback, beat out the new Volkswagen GTI and Golf R, as well as the all-electric Lucid Air luxury sedan as finalists for this year's car category. The Civic didn't change much during the generational changeover, which we thought was fine when we drove it. The updates made were practical and useful, without diminishing the car's personable character that makes it so popular. The fact that there's already a sportier Civic Si available only makes it that much more exciting to mainstream enthusiasts.
