Hyundai Tucson is AJAC Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is the most recent AJAC Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year. The Automotive Journalists Association of Canada named the Tucson its best utility vehicle earlier in March. The completely redesigned Hyundai Tucson was also named the AutoGuide 2022 Utility Vehicle of the Year in March as well.

The redesigned Hyundai Tucson stood out in AJAC’s yearlong testing as well as during competitive testing in October where the Tucson was tested against its direct competitors. The new 2022 Hyundai Tucson stood out for its comfort, its quiet interior, and its impressive safety and value.

"It was a tough competition, and we're excited that one of our best-selling SUVs has earned this recognition from the esteemed AJAC judges," said Don Romano, President and CEO of Hyundai Auto Canada. "This award is extremely meaningful to us because the new Tucson embodies Hyundai's overall green powertrain approach; offering internal combustion, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models in a high-volume compact SUV. With all-wheel drive, hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, customers no longer need to choose between all-weather off-road capability and exceptional efficiency.
