2024 CCOTY Awards: Celebrating Excellence in Canadian Cars

The Hub of Canadian Automotive Excellence

AJAC stands as Canada’s premier automotive authority, uniting journalists, writers, videographers, photographers, and companies who share a deep passion for the automotive industry.

This independence ensures their reputation as a reliable source for Canadian automotive news, reviews, and trends.

Canadian Car of the Year Awards

One of AJAC’s flagship events is the Canadian Car of the Year (CCOTY) Awards. Held annually, this prestigious event rigorously tests and reviews the latest cars and SUVs, including new models and updated versions, to award the top Canadian vehicles. The awards feature several categories, such as Canadian Car of the Year, Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year, and Canadian Electric Car(s) of the Year. The testing process, conducted by expert jurors from across Canada, takes place in real-world scenarios and is overseen by KPMG to ensure transparency and integrity. Finalists are announced in January, with winners revealed at the Canadian International AutoShow.
