AutoTrader announced Canada’s Most Trusted Automotive Awards for 2023

TORONTO — AutoTrader announced the winners for the 2023 Canada’s Most Trusted Automotive Awards.

“As the country’s leading and most trusted automotive marketplace, the AutoTrader Awards are yet another way we empower Canadians during their car-buying journey,” said Jodi Lai, Editor-in-Chief, AutoTrader. “These winners represent vehicles that go above and beyond to raise the bar so Canadians can feel more confident the next time they’re buying a car.”

Categories across AutoTrader’s season include Best Overall Car, SUV, and Truck, with the Genesis G80/Electrified G80, Subaru Outback, and Ford Maverick winning the coveted awards, respectively. The Ford F-150 Lightning was voted as the Best Overall Green Car. Toyota is named Canada’s Most Trusted Car Brand for 2023, according to a survey of Canadian consumers. This is the only category not voted on by the AutoTrader Awards jury. In total, 31 winners are named.

The jury of over 20 automotive journalists from across the country vote on the best vehicles in each segment. When voting, the judges consider a dozen different criteria including value, innovation, safety, driver satisfaction, and overall excellence. Every vehicle that’s available for Canadians to buy is eligible for an award, but each winner offers something special that takes it to the next level.

“It’s a huge accomplishment for an automotive brand to win an AutoTrader Award,” Lai said. “They should be very proud that their vehicle has earned the trust of our discerning jury and that their dedication to excellence has resulted in vehicles that Canadian car shoppers can feel confident with.”
