The Canada Green Car of the Year is organized by the Canadian Automobile Journalists Association. It is selected through evaluation and voting by a panel of local Canadian automotive experts and journalists, considering eco-friendly values such as charging time, driving range, and driving performance for eco-friendly vehicles sold in the Canadian market.

Earlier this month, the Canadian Automobile Journalists Association announced the final three nominees in the passenger and utility green vehicle categories. The Ioniq 6 was chosen over the BMW i4 and Toyota Prius, while the Ioniq 5 was selected over the Kia EV6 and Ford F-150 Lightning.

A Hyundai Motor Company official said, “Winning simultaneously in the eco-friendly vehicle categories is an achievement that recognizes the excellent eco-friendly qualities of Hyundai’s E-GMP-based vehicles,” adding, “We will leverage this award to drive sales in the Canadian automotive market and continue to perform well in the global market.”
