Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
"These five exceptional vehicles reflect an expanding 'green' car field that embraces diverse fuels and technologies as answers to a more efficient and low carbon future," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "Each offers a distinctly different approach to driving 'green' that appeals to buyers with varying needs and perspectives on how best to lessen environmental impact, while maintaining the joy of driving."
The winner of the 2015 Green Car of the Year will be revealed on November 20.
