“AJAC is proud to present our highest honours to the 2024 Canadian Car of the Year Awards winners, marking the cars, trucks and SUVs that our members have voted to be the best vehicles on sale in Canada this year,” said AJAC president Evan Williams in a news release.

All 2024 model-year vehicles were eligible for the CCOTY awards, including those newly designed, recently refreshed, and carried over from last year.

More than 50 jurors across Canada, from Vancouver to Halifax, voted on the winners.

“AJAC members represent the country’s largest and most diverse group of automotive experts. We test vehicles from coast to coast on the same roads and in the same conditions that Canadians experience every day. When the time came to decide, our members cast nearly 2,000 ballots. Our depth of experience and expertise is how we know Canadians can count on our assessments and on the Canadian Car of the Year Awards when it comes time to choose their own next vehicle,” Williams said in the release.
