In an early morning press conference at the opening of the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, the VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG TDI CLEAN DIESEL was declared the 2012 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC).
"Winning this award is a tremendous honour, said Mr. John White, President of Volkswagen Canada. "The Volkswagen Touareg is extremely capable both on and off road, and surrounds its passengers in comfort and luxury. We are very pleased to be recognized for all of the hard work our engineers and designers have put in."
The VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG TDI CLEAN DIESEL also won the "Best New SUV/CUV ($35,000 o $60,000)" class when the category winners were announced in October 2011. All "Best New" category winners are eligible to compete for the overall crown of either the "Canadian Car of the Year" or "Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year".
