2020 미국 올해의 차 후보들

미국 올해의 차 후보들입니다.

이 중에서 올 하반기 LA 오토쇼에 최종 후보가 결정되고 

수상자는 내년 1월 북미 오토쇼에서 선정되죠

지난해엔 제네시스 G70이 화려한 자취를 남겼는데

올해에도 국산차들의 선전을 기대해봅니다

개인적으로는 텔루라이드를 지지합니다 ^^

그러나 결과는 쉐보레 콜벳이 유력하겠죠?

 

The C8 Corvette, Kia Telluride, Polestar 1, and others make the short list.

It’s that time of year again, folks. Today the finalists for North American Car, Truck, and SUV of the Year nominees were announced. And among the 29 nominees, there are many obvious choices, but an odd few (many that we wouldn’t include ourselves) stand out.

First up are the car of the year semifinalists. Last year the Genesis G70 took home North American Car of the Year honors, but this year the field feels more varied. The list includes family sedans like the Subaru Legacy, sports cars like the C8 Corvette and Porsche 911, and even a hybrid – the Polestar 1. Here are the 12 candidates in this field:

 

BMW 3 Series

Cadillac CT5

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

Hyundai Sonata

Kia Soul

Mazda3

Mercedes-Benz A-Class

Polestar 1

Porsche 911

Subaru Legacy

Toyota Supra

Volkswagen Arteon

In the race for North American SUV of the Year, there are another 12 candidates. And much like the nominees for car, there’s a wide variety that includes electric options like the Audi E-Tron, three-rows like the Cadillac XT6 Kia Telluride, and Hyundai Palisade, and even a wagon – the Volvo V60 Cross Country. Here’s the entire list of options:

 

Audi E-Tron

Cadillac XT6

Chevrolet Blazer

Ford Explorer

Ford Escape

Honda Passport

Kia Telluride

Hyundai Palisade

Lincoln Aviator

Lincoln Corsair

Subaru Outback

Volvo V60 Cross Country

The nominees slim down to just five when looking at the options for 2020 North American Truck of the Year Semifinalists. And all of the trucks on this list come from American manufacturers like Ford and Chevrolet only. Sorry, Toyota and Nissan. Here are the finalists:

 

Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty

Ford Ranger

GMC Sierra Heavy Duty

Jeep Gladiator

Ram Heavy Duty

Jurors will get behind the wheel of all of these cars, trucks, and SUVs in October for a group test. The finalists in each category will be announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, while the judges will award winners in early 2020.
