2027 Canadian Car of the Year Awards

In an effort to provide the public with the most relevant information, the Canadian Car of the Year (CCOTY) program takes into account every single vehicle that is on sale in a given model year.

Unlike many awards programs that only focus on new vehicles for a given year, CCOTY looks at every vehicle that is available much like a car buying consumer would. This format also allows for repeat wins, because if a vehicle is good enough to win once, it could still be the best choice in a segment the following year.

Once the votes are cast, five vehicles are selected as semi-finalists in five categories, giving us a short list of 25 vehicles that have all been recognized as stand outs in the industry. A top three is then named as the finalists in each category before the winners are revealed.

The five Canadian Car of the Year categories are as follows:
