This year’s finalists include the Audi A3 TDI, Honda Insight , Mercury Milan Hybrid, Toyota Prius and Volkswagen Golf TDI. The winner, chosen from a panel of auto and green-centric media and industry members, will be announced on December 3.

The Volkswagen Jetta TDI took home the award last year, while the Chevrolet Tahoe was victorious the year before.
