Mazda3 wins prestigious AJAC Canadian Car of the Year Award
February 25 2020,
After winning its segment, the all-new, fourth-generation Mazda3 proceeded to take home Canada’s most prestigious automotive award when it was named Canadian Car of the Year for 2020 by the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada. The news was announced earlier this month at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.
"The all-new Mazda3 is an incredible engineering feat made possible by our passionate engineers and designers, and the addition of all-wheel drive to this car brings it even more in line with the needs and wants of Canadian consumers," said David Klan, President & CEO, Mazda Canada. "We are honoured and humbled to accept this award for the Mazda3, which is such an important part of our portfolio and is the first product to launch our new-generation of vehicles that are elevating the Mazda brand to a premium position."
The Mazda3 received several improvements when it was redesigned last year. Among the notable changes, we note the addition of all-wheel drive as an option. The Mazda3 is one of the few AWD vehicles in its segment.
"The Mazda3 is not new to the title of Canadian Car of the Year and is among the most enduring nameplates in these awards," said Stephanie Wallcraft, AJAC President. "With the collective weight of AJAC members and their rigorous evaluations behind it, Canadians can be assured that the 2020 Mazda3 is among the very best vehicles available in our market today."
