2022 FULL-SIZE SUV OF THE YEAR

Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban - Ford Expedition - GMC Yukon/Yukon XL

The arrival this year of GM's all-new trio last year has had the same effect as a tidal wave, so to speak. More comfortable than in the past, GM's big SUVs now even offer a turbodiesel alternative that consumes significantly less fuel in these times of record gas prices in Canada. The Ford Expedition is also a good option in this group of Really Big Fellas.

2022 LUXURY SUBCOMPACT SUV OF THE YEAR

Audi Q3 - Mercedes-Benz GLB - Volvo XC40

In the luxury segment, small SUVs are also multiplying at a rapid pace, and electric offerings are starting to appear in North America, with more on the way. The Audi Q3 finally makes it into the finalist group, while the other two were in the final three last year. The Mercedes-Benz GLB is certainly the largest of the three, while the XC40 has a very Scandinavian design... and let's not forget its spunky all-electric Recharge version!

Last year, Volvo's littlest SUV won the award for best luxury subcompact utility vehicle. Will this be the case for a second year in a row? The answer in seven days.
