Each year automakers introduce a slew of new vehicles, many of which are considered \u201cgreen\u201d or environmentally friendly, and while consumers will choose the ones they like best with their checkbooks, there are other ways to be recognized.<\/p>\n

Annually, the Green Car Journal, a national publication covering electric and alternative fuel vehicles and technology for more than two decades, selects two especially significant vehicles: a car and an SUV to be recognized as the Green Car and Green SUV of the year. The pair are honored during the Los Angeles Auto Show.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winners were the Honda Insight as Green Car of the Year and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was the Green SUV of the Year. The publication also hands out other honors during the year.<\/p>\n
