Hyundai Dominates At The 2025 Canadian Car Of The Year Awards

What a year it's been for the team here at Hyundai! We have snagged not one, but two prestigious awards at the 2025 Canadian Car of the Year Awards, presented by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).

We’re proud to say our line up includes:

  • Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year: Hyundai Santa Fe
  • Canadian Electric Utility Vehicle of the Year: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

This is a huge accomplishment for us, showcasing our commitment to innovation, quality, and meeting the diverse needs of Canadian drivers.

Hyundai Santa Fe: The Perfect Family SUV

The completely redesigned Hyundai Santa Fe has won over the hearts (and votes!) of AJAC's expert jurors.

Praised for its interior ergonomics, refined design, and user-friendly infotainment system, the Santa Fe is the ideal SUV for families on the go. And with an efficient hybrid powertrain as standard, it's not just practical, but also environmentally conscious.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Electrifying Performance

Hyundai's electric lineup also took home a top honor. The Ioniq 5 N, the high-performance version of the already impressive Ioniq 5, has been crowned the Canadian Electric Utility Vehicle of the Year.

This award highlights the Ioniq 5 N's impressive performance, cutting-edge technology, and its fun-to-drive factor. It's a testament to Hyundai's leadership in the electric vehicle space.

A Clean Sweep for Hyundai

It's worth noting that this isn't the first time our lineup has been recognized by AJAC. In recent years, the Hyundai Tucson and the standard Hyundai Ioniq 5 have also won awards, proving that Hyundai consistently delivers top-quality vehicles.

This double win at the 2025 Canadian Car of the Year Awards is a clear indication of the brand's dedication to producing vehicles that excel in both performance and practicality. Shop our in-stock inventory of both vehicles below!
