The brand's GV80 has won the same award for the second time after winning the SUV of the Year award last year.

Canada's AJAC is composed of more than 100 journalists specializing in the automotive sector, and they come from all over Canada. They are said to be a dedicated group that consistently reports about carmakers without bias. They thoroughly assess each vehicle via rigorous testing to ensure that the public will be aware of what kind of car they are buying.
