Midwest Automotive Media Association Announces 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and 2021 Chevrolet Suburban as the Family Vehicles of the Year and 2021 Genesis G80 as Luxury Family Vehicle of the Year

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA) announced the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and 2021 Chevrolet Suburban as the recipient of the 11th annual Family Vehicle of the Year award and the 2021 Genesis G80 as the Luxury Family Vehicle of the Year during a virtual award presentation.

MAMA, a nonprofit association comprised of automotive journalists and public relations professionals, developed these two awards to assist car-shopping families in making a wise and informed decision when selecting a new vehicle.

“The Family Vehicle of the Year Award is different from others in that it’s focused on just one extremely important category of vehicle,” said MAMA President Harvey Briggs. “Whether mainstream or luxury, families need a vehicle that’s versatile, comfortable, reliable, capable, and provides a good value for the money. More than 90 journalists participated in the voting based on their experience with the entrants, making the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and Genesis G80 deserving winners in a very competitive field.”

In addition to the winners, mainstream finalists were the Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Highlander for Family Vehicle of the Year and the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Corsair for the luxury category. To qualify for the award, vehicles had to have four doors and be new or significantly updated within the past year.
