The announcements were made during a Green Car Awards press conference at AutoMobility LA, preceding the start of the LA Auto Show. According to Ron Cogan, Editor and Publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com:
“The 2020 Toyota Corolla and Honda CR-V earned their respective 2020 Green Car of the Year and 2020 Green SUV of the Year distinctions by standing out with their exceptional efficiency, desired features and satisfying driving experience. The first-ever addition of hybrid versions to these popular mainstream models is a real plus. Importantly, affordable price points for both conventional and hybrid variants make them approachable to a great many buyers and not just a select few.”

In contention for Green SUV of the Year were Ford Explorer Hybrid, Honda CR-V, Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Toyota RAV4.
