Electric vehicles managed to snag two out of the three gongs on offer at the North American Vehicle of the Year Awards. The in-demand Ford F-150 Lightning took the prize for North American Truck of the Year. The F-150 Lightning’s conventional counterpart previously won the truck category on several occasions. If you want to get your hands on one of the electric trucks, you may be temporarily out of luck. Numerous factors have contributed to a supply shortage, and demand is ridiculously high. Ford previously threatened dealerships that were scalping or in some cases selling off their test models. The company has also suspended orders for its flagship electric truck while it attempts to fulfill its massive backlog of orders.
An EV also took the prize for North American Utility Vehicle of the Year. The Kia EV6 offers a solid mainstream option for folks who are looking to go electric, boasting a wide range of features and a solid range for a reasonable price. The main award went to a gas-powered car, a hatchback from Honda’s luxury line, the Acura Integra.
As far as gas engines go, the Integra is pretty eco-friendly; its 1.5-liter engine will get a fuel economy of 30/37/33 miles per gallon if you opt for the version with the continuously variable transmission. The Integra is also making a comeback after being discontinued way back in 2006. After 16 years in the wilderness, it has returned as an incredibly solid all-rounder. Despite the recent EV hype, it’s easy enough to argue that the Acura Integra deserves its award, and everything else it’s likely to win this year.
