Vehicles recognized with Vincentric Best Value in Canada Awards™ are compared against competitors in the same segments and are awarded for having lower than expected ownership costs. Value is determined using a statistical analysis that incorporates the current market price and total cost of ownership of all 2022 model year vehicles.

For the fifth time, Toyota was honoured with the “Best Value in Canada: SUV & Van” category award, as well as four “Best Value in Canada” model level awards in the “Compact”, “Mid-Size SUV”, “Minivan” and “Full-Size ½-Ton Pickup” segments.
