2024 Kia EV9 Awarded North American Utility Vehicle of the Year

The North America Utility Vehicle of the Year* award recognizes a car that has leading advancements and other abilities over other models like it, and in this case, it is the EV9. A panel of 50 jurors is in charge of choosing the award, and they come from separate media organizations. So, they are able to provide an outside perspective on the list of vehicles that are considered for the honor. The judging begins in September, when they sift through all the desirable cars. Following this, they conduct test drives on the remaining vehicles in October. Afterward, they vote in December so that there’s a list of three finalists for the accolade. Lastly, the jurors will place their nominations among the final candidates, and then the one that is placed first earns the honor!
