Entries for Canadian Green Car of the Year and Canadian Green Utility Vehicle of the Year must meet the standard requirements for entry into the Canadian Car of the Year awards program and must satisfy additional criteria for fuel efficiency based on the entry's size, powertrain and purpose. This reflects the ideology that today's market sees eco-friendly cars in many shapes, sizes, price points, and vehicle categories.
All entries are tested by AJAC journalists, who are among the most respected and objective sources of automotive opinion in Canada. Evaluation takes place over months on different road surfaces and road conditions throughout the year and during AJAC's autumn Test Fest event.
"The Canadian Green Car of the Year and Canadian Green Utility Vehicle of the Year selection process sets the most efficient and eco-friendly vehicles apart from the rest of the automotive marketplace and recognises that they need to do things differently," said AJAC Vice President Evan Williams. "AJAC members know the vehicles and the marketplace, because we live here and we drive here. That's why Canadians who value low emissions and high efficiency, not just driving dynamics and practicality, can look to these finalists and the overall winners as being the best choices in our market for what they need and want in their next vehicle."
