The list of World Automobile Awards has been whittled right down to 10 finalists, but just one American brand — Ford — appears among the many remaining nine carmakers for this 12 months’s top award.
The Bronco is there, and it is also balloted as a finalist within the design category. The opposite categories are performance automobile, urban automobile, electric vehicle and luxury model. Each category has five finalists except World Automobile, which has 10. One brand conspicuous by its absence in any category: Tesla.
The winner in each is scheduled to be crowned March 27 on the Latest York International Auto Show in Manhattan. This 12 months marks the twentieth 12 months of the World Automobile Awards and the partnership with the Latest York show.
The choice process involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Automobile TV.
If you happen to’re counting, the brands that appear most on the six finals lists are Mercedes-Benz (4 times), BMW (also 4), Hyundai (three), and Volvo (three).
Here’s the complete listing. A video clip showing all of them is here:
