Mazda3, Jaguar I-Pace Named 2020 Car, SUV of the Year by AJAC

As the 2020 Toronto International Auto Show kicked off today in the Queen City, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) named the Mazda3 and the Jaguar I-Pace its Canadian Car and Utility Vehicle of the Year for 2020.

The win is the second-straight for Jaguar’s all-electric performance SUV, which last year became the first vehicle powered only by electricity to win an overall AJAC award. It beat out the Volvo XC40, Subaru Outback, Porsche Cayenne and Kia Telluride for the top honour.

Cars that finished behind the Mazda3 this year include the Subaru Legacy, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Toyota Supra and Porsche 911 Carrera.
