The jurors of the 2021 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year (NACTOY) Awards have decided this year\u2019s three big winners, and the Blue Oval is happy to report it has earned not one, but two awards. The fully electric Mustang Mach-E<\/a> triumphed in the Utility category, thus beating the other two finalists \u2013 Genesis GV80 luxury SUV and the Land Rover Defender off-roader.<\/p>\n Ford also took first place in the Truck of the Year segment, with the fourteenth-generation F-150 managing to score more votes from the jurors than the Jeep Gladiator in the Mojave trim and the Ram 1500 in the high-powered TRX version. As for the Car of the Year award, the revamped Hyundai Elantra outshined the Genesis G80 and Nissan Sentra.<\/p>\n Ford has barely started customer deliveries of the first-ever electric Mustang SUV, delivering a total of three vehicles until December 31, 2020, in North America, according to the company\u2019s sales charts<\/a>. Some versions will be available later this year, including the Mach-E GT scheduled to arrive towards the end of the summer as the fastest and most powerful variant of the high-riding \u2018Stang.<\/p>\n For the time being, Ford is assembling more than 3,000 units per month and has also commenced shipping in some EV-loving European countries such as Norway. The zero-emissions SUV carrying the fabled pony car name is also heading to China where it will be sold exclusively with the GT model\u2019s front fascia regardless of the trim level.<\/p>\n
