    "AJAC's Canadian Car of the Year category award winners are those vehicles deemed by our members to be the cars, SUVs, and trucks that are best suited to the realities of driving in Canada," Stephanie Wallcraft, AJAC president, said in a statement.  

    The three finalist cars and utility vehicles were qualified from among the 12 category winners announced on Jan. 16 at the Montreal International Auto Show.

    Results from AJAC journalist member ballots are audited by international accounting firm KPMG and remain under wraps until the moment the envelopes are opened. The winners of the 2020 Canadian Car of the Year and Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year will be announced at the opening ceremonies of the Canadian International AutoShow (CIAS) Feb. 13 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre's John Bassett Theatre.

    The CIAS runs from Feb. 14 to Feb. 23.
