After considering every single new vehicle that's available for Canadians to buy, more than 20 automotive journalists from all over the country vote for the best vehicles in over 30 categories. When voting on winning vehicles, the jury considers about a dozen different criteria including design, innovation, engineering, safety and overall excellence.

'The Hyundai IONIQ 6 stands out from the crowd in many ways, but our expert jury noted that its unique style, dedication to efficiency, generous range, and standout charging technology make it a well-rounded EV that punches above its price tag', says Jodi Lai, editor-in-chief at AutoTrader.
