The 2020 Mazda3 wins AJAC Canadian Car of the Year Award

There’s no more prestigious award in Canada than the AJAC Canadian Car of the Year award. Handed out by members of the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada, the award recognizes the best car available in a given year.


The award is determined after a week of intensive testing under identical conditions by AJAC members.


"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."


The 2020 Mazda3 is all-new and one of the few cars in its segment to offer all-wheel drive. It starts at $18,000.


"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."
