Methodology

CarGurus’ Editor’s Choice Used Car Awards nominees were selected from late-model cars originally available for sale in Canada. When evaluating nominees, vehicle generations that include the 2015 model year were considered in their entirety. The CarGurus editorial team evaluated nominees based on various criteria including CarGurus professional Test Drive Reviews, popularity (measured by search volume), and availability (measured by inventory volumes), to determine the best options across a range of vehicle segments.
