LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - The longest-running auto show in the United States returned to Detroit after a three-year hiatus.

For the first time, the North American International Auto show was hosted in September. It’s usually held in January. The change was made in an effort to attract more people and include outdoor events, but that’s not the only thing that changed.

Unlike past Detroit Auto Shows, the 2022 event did not announce a car and truck of the year. Instead, the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year semifinalists were announced. Multiple electric vehicles were nominated for truck, car and sport utility vehicles of the year.

Voting is underway. The announcement will be made in January.
