From last month’s category winners, we now have six finalists.
The finalists are a mix of EVs and ICEs.
Over the course of the year, there were more than 1,700 votes cast in this year’s AJAC awards for the roughly 250 vehicles up for consideration. All vehicles available on the market today were part of this list – whether recently redesigned, just updated, or carried over from the previous year.
