Our choices in a variety of car, SUV and truck categories

Fall is now well and truly among us, and that’s the cue for the team at Auto123.com to get down to the business of crowning the best vehicles of the year through our annual Auto123.com Awards.

At the end of a comprehensive voting process among our various journalists and contributors, the 2019 winners will be unveiled at the end of November during a special ceremony in Toronto.

To be eligible, a vehicle must have been reviewed and sold on the market prior to November 1, 2018. No vehicle can be included in two different categories, except when a model has different versions or configurations.

Here then are the vehicles short-listed for our 2019 awards…
