Newsweek recently announced its 2024 Newsweek Autos Awards. This year the awards a bit different. Rather than focus on the best cars, they’re more focused on the right vehicle for the consumer. To that end, the award names ‘Best Of’ winners across 13 different “psychographic” profiles that match new car buyers with their vehicle purchasing priorities.
