AUTOHEBDO 2023 AWARD WINNERS
By Isabelle Havasy
A reference for Canadian buyers, AutoHebdo awards prizes every year to the best vehicle in each segment. For the fifth consecutive year, more than twenty journalists have taken on the task of evaluating the vehicles. Among the dozen or so selection criteria are overall value, innovation, safety, driving pleasure and general vehicle excellence.
According to a 2022 Ipsos survey of vehicle owners nationwide, the AutoHebdo Awards are highly regarded, with 52 percent of owners placing their trust in them. “We have always made it our mission to help consumers across the country shop with confidence on AutoHobdo.net.”
The 2023 edition includes 31 winners, making it “AutoHobdo’s largest awards show to date.” The most coveted prizes in all categories—Best Car, Best SUV and Best Truck—go to the Genesis G80/Electrified G80, Subaru Outback and Ford Maverick, respectively. The Ford F-150 Lightning wins the Most Environmentally Friendly Vehicle title, all categories, while Toyota is named Canada’s Most Reliable Brand for 2023.
