Every year, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) complies data from its members to determine the best-of-the-best in each significant vehicle category.
Through thousands of road tests and reviews, Canadian auto journalists have voted to determine which new vehicles deserve the attention of buyers.
