Montreal Canadiens players attract attention on the ice, but also when they arrive at the Bell Centre or the CN Sports Complex in Brossard. In recent years, fans have become increasingly curious about the cars driven by Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovský, Ivan Demidov and other members of the Canadiens.
Between 2020 and 2026, several vehicles were publicly shown by players, dealerships or automotive partners. They include a number of high-performance Audi models, BMW M vehicles, a Toyota GR Supra, a modified Jeep Wrangler and a Genesis SUV.
Some caution is necessary, however. The Montreal Canadiens do not publish an official registry of the cars owned by their players. In addition, a vehicle featured in a post may have been purchased, leased or loaned as part of a commercial agreement. This article therefore includes only associations supported by an identifiable public source. Whenever the information is available, it distinguishes reported purchases from vehicles supplied by a partner.
Known Cars Driven by Canadiens Players: Summary
Player | Publicly disclosed vehicle | Year announced or reported | Nature of the association |
|---|---|---|---|
Cole Caufield | Modified four-door Jeep Wrangler | 2021 | Reported purchase |
Cole Caufield | Toyota GR Supra | 2022 | Purchase publicly presented |
Nick Suzuki | Audi RS Q8 | 2022 | Reported purchase |
Juraj Slafkovský | Black BMW M5 Competition | 2024 | Purchase announced by a dealership |
Nick Suzuki | Audi S5 and Audi RS Q8 | 2025 | Vehicles publicly associated with the player |
Ivan Demidov | 2025 Audi RS6 | 2025 | Delivery announced by a dealership |
Alexandre Carrier | BMW X5 M | 2025 | Vehicle seen as he arrived at the Bell Centre |
Jakub Dobeš | Audi Q5 | 2026 | Vehicle associated with a dealership; ownership unconfirmed |
Lane Hutson | Genesis GV70 | 2026 | Personal-use vehicle supplied through a partnership |
This list is not a complete inventory of every car owned by every player who has worn a Canadiens jersey since 2020. Instead, it covers vehicles whose association with a player was made public and sufficiently documented.
Cole Caufield: From a Modified Jeep Wrangler to a Toyota GR Supra
A Matte-Black Jeep Wrangler in 2021
Cole Caufield was one of the first young players from the Canadiens' new generation whose vehicle generated significant interest. In July 2021, shortly after Montreal's run to the Stanley Cup Final, the forward was associated with a modified four-door Jeep Wrangler.
According to an article published by The Car Guide, the vehicle had been customized by Envy Auto Group. It featured matte-black paint, large black wheels and a noticeably more aggressive appearance than a standard Wrangler. The report said Caufield had purchased it while he was in Michigan. View the source: The Car Guide
The Wrangler was a logical choice for a young player dividing his time between the United States and Canada. It offers a high driving position, four-wheel drive and an unmistakable personality. Its all-black customization also suited Caufield's sporty, relaxed image at the beginning of his professional career.
A Toyota GR Supra in 2022
In June 2022, Cole Caufield was then presented with a Toyota GR Supra. Images shared by a Canadiens-focused publication showed the player with the car at Woodland Toyota. The post clearly described the vehicle as a newly acquired Supra. View the feature on Cole Caufield's Supra
The move from the Wrangler to the Supra illustrates two completely different uses. The Jeep emphasizes versatility and rugged styling, whereas the Supra is a low, lightweight sports car focused on driving enjoyment. Toyota says the current GR Supra uses a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six engine producing 382 horsepower in its 2026 Canadian configuration. The exact specifications may nevertheless vary according to the model year of the vehicle photographed with Caufield. View the GR Supra specifications from Toyota Canada
Caufield's Toyota is one of the most distinctive cars on this list. While several players choose large all-wheel-drive luxury SUVs, the Supra is a true two-seat sports car. It fits the forward's style well: compact, quick and exciting.
Nick Suzuki: A Clear Preference for Audi
An Audi RS Q8 Unveiled in 2022
Nick Suzuki appears to have a particular preference for Audi. In June 2022, when he was already emerging as one of the faces of the franchise, he was photographed at Audi St-Bruno with a vehicle identified as an Audi RS Q8. The report published at the time stated that the forward had obtained a new Audi for the summer. View the 2022 report on Nick Suzuki's Audi
The RS Q8 sits at the top of Audi's performance SUV range. It combines the space and comfort of a large utility vehicle with the capabilities of the Audi Sport family. For comparison, Audi Canada currently advertises 631 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque for the 2026 RS Q8 Performance. This does not confirm the exact output of Suzuki's vehicle, since its model year and configuration have not been publicly established, but it clearly indicates the type of vehicle he selected. View the Audi RS Q8 on Audi Canada's website
For a professional hockey player, this type of SUV offers several practical advantages: all-wheel drive suited to Quebec winters, a spacious interior, ample cargo capacity and very high performance. It is as practical for everyday travel as it is impressive when pulling up to the Bell Centre.
An Audi S5 and Another RS Q8 Appearance in 2025
In May 2025, new photographs linked the Canadiens captain to two Audi models: an Audi S5 and an Audi RS Q8. The outlet that shared the images said Suzuki had chosen both vehicles. View the photographs and source covering Nick Suzuki's Audis
The RS Q8's repeated appearance in publications from 2022 and 2025 could mean that Suzuki was still using the same vehicle, that it was a newer version or simply that a new set of photographs had surfaced. Public sources do not resolve the question. It would therefore be misleading to state with certainty that he purchased two separate RS Q8s.
The Audi S5 offers a different experience. Lower and more understated than an RS Q8, it is positioned as a sporty grand-touring car or coupe, depending on the generation and body style. An S5-RS Q8 pairing would give Suzuki the choice between a sporty car for individual trips and a powerful SUV for more practical needs.
Juraj Slafkovský and His Black BMW M5 Competition
In December 2024, Juraj Slafkovský was presented with a black BMW M5 Competition. The photographs came from a post produced in collaboration with BMW Kingston. The vehicle was described as a new acquisition for the Slovak player and as an uncommon edition. View the photographs and article about Juraj Slafkovský's BMW M5
The M5 is one of the world's most famous sport sedans. Its strength lies in its ability to combine four doors, a comfortable cabin and extremely high performance. The “Competition” designation applies to especially powerful versions of the previous generation. It should not automatically be confused with the new plug-in hybrid M5 currently sold by BMW.
According to BMW Canada, the current BMW M5 produces 717 horsepower, but that figure applies to the new generation and not necessarily to the M5 Competition photographed with Slafkovský in 2024. View the current BMW M5 range
A large black sedan seems particularly well suited to Slafkovský. Like the player, the M5 has an imposing presence, substantial power and a relatively understated appearance compared with certain exotic cars. It can blend into traffic while still delivering remarkable performance.
Ivan Demidov: A 2025 Audi RS6 Avant Upon His Arrival in Montreal
Ivan Demidov did not wait long before being associated with one of the group's most eye-catching cars. In May 2025, the Location Paramount dealership published a video congratulating the young forward on his new 2025 Audi RS6. The footage showed Demidov and his partner taking delivery of the vehicle in Montreal. View Location Paramount's Instagram post
Several sports outlets also reported the news, describing the car as a newly delivered Audi RS6 for the player. View the report on the Audi RS6 delivery
The Audi RS6 Avant occupies a special place in the automotive world. It is a five-door wagon with a large cargo area and a practical cabin, yet its performance is comparable to that of many sports cars. The RS6 Avant Performance currently featured by Audi Canada uses a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 621 horsepower. Audi claims it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. View the Audi RS6 Avant Performance on Audi Canada's website
Once again, the full specifications of the 2026 model should not automatically be attributed to Demidov's 2025 vehicle. The philosophy is nevertheless the same: to offer the space of a wagon, the security of quattro all-wheel drive and the power of an extremely high-performance car.
For a player newly settled in Montreal, the choice makes sense. The RS6 can be used throughout the year, can carry luggage or equipment and remains much less conspicuous than a two-seat supercar. It probably offers the best balance of performance and versatility among the cars featured in this article.
Alexandre Carrier: A BMW X5 M Spotted at the Bell Centre
In May 2025, a video showing several Canadiens players arriving at the Bell Centre circulated on social media. An article covering the footage identified Alexandre Carrier's vehicle as a BMW X5 M and presented it as a 2026 model. View the source covering the cars spotted at the Bell Centre
The identification of the model year should be treated cautiously because the post dates from May 2025 and includes neither a vehicle specification sheet nor a dealership announcement. The model itself is nevertheless consistent with the footage and the reported information: it is a high-performance BMW SUV from the M family.
The current BMW X5 M Competition uses a V8 engine and can produce up to 617 horsepower, according to BMW Canada. View the BMW X5 M presentation
The X5 M meets the same general needs as Suzuki's RS Q8: space, all-wheel drive, winter comfort and very high power. Its size is also well suited to tall players, who may be less comfortable in a compact sports car.
Jakub Dobeš: An Audi Q5 Associated with Location Paramount
In early 2026, goaltender Jakub Dobeš was seen with an Audi Q5 associated with Location Paramount. The available report indicates that the vehicle was connected to the dealership and notes that this kind of collaboration has become fairly common around the team. View the article about Jakub Dobeš's Audi Q5
In this case, it is especially important not to present the Q5 as confirmed personal property. The source describes a vehicle associated with a dealership without clearly establishing whether it was purchased, commercially leased or supplied as a promotional loan.
The Audi Q5 is also more restrained than the RS models mentioned elsewhere in this list. It is a compact luxury SUV designed for daily use. Its presence shows that players do not always select a brand's most powerful or expensive models.
Lane Hutson: A Genesis GV70 Supplied Through an Official Partnership
Lane Hutson's case is the best documented when it comes to the commercial nature of the association. In April 2026, Genesis Canada announced that the defenceman had become a brand partner. The agreement includes content creation centred on the Genesis GV70 and specifies that Hutson will drive a GV70 as his personal vehicle.
It is therefore not necessarily a car purchased by the player. Rather, it is a vehicle made available to him as part of an officially announced collaboration. Read the detailed announcement of the Lane Hutson and Genesis Canada partnership
The GV70 is a compact luxury SUV with a sporty character. Depending on the version, it can place greater emphasis on comfort, performance or electrification. The partnership appears to have been built around precision and attention to detail, two qualities associated with Hutson's play in the announcement.
The collaboration also fits into a broader context: Hyundai and Genesis have been official automotive partners of the NHL in Canada since 2022. The individual agreement with Hutson therefore directly connects a young Canadiens star with a brand already present in the league's ecosystem.
Why Are Audi and BMW So Common Among the Players?
The list reveals a clear dominance by German brands. Audi appears alongside Nick Suzuki, Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobeš, while BMW is associated with Juraj Slafkovský and Alexandre Carrier.
Several factors may explain this trend.
Year-Round Performance
Players often seek powerful vehicles, but they also need to drive during Montreal winters. All-wheel-drive systems such as Audi quattro and BMW xDrive make sport sedans and SUVs easier to use throughout the hockey season, provided that they are fitted with suitable winter tires.
Vehicles Suited to Everyday Travel
A very low supercar may be spectacular, but it is less practical when it snows or when luggage must be carried. The RS Q8, X5 M, Q5 and GV70 provide more room and ground clearance. Even Demidov's RS6 retains a generous cargo area thanks to its wagon body.
An Upscale Image That Is Not Always Extravagant
Audi and BMW offer extremely powerful models whose appearance can remain relatively understated. To an untrained observer, a black M5 or an RS6 may look like a luxurious sedan or wagon even though its performance is exceptional.
The Role of Dealerships and Partnerships
The publications reviewed also demonstrate the importance of commercial relationships. BMW Kingston participated in the presentation of Slafkovský's M5. Location Paramount is associated with Demidov's and Dobeš's vehicles. Genesis entered into an official agreement with Hutson.
These collaborations give the dealership or manufacturer visibility, while the player may receive personalized service, a lease or sometimes a supplied vehicle. This is why every photograph should not be interpreted as proof of a cash purchase or permanent ownership.
Purchase, Lease or Promotional Vehicle: What the Sources Actually Establish
The curiosity surrounding players' cars can easily generate inaccurate information. A photograph taken in front of a dealership can correspond to several situations:
a personal purchase;
a long-term lease;
a lease arranged through a specialized company;
a temporarily supplied vehicle;
an advertising partnership;
simple participation in a photo shoot.
In the cases of Caufield, Slafkovský and Demidov, the publications use language consistent with a purchase or delivery. Several vehicles are clearly associated with Suzuki, but not all the terms are public. Dobeš's ownership has not been confirmed. In Hutson's case, both the partnership and his personal use of the GV70 were explicitly announced.
This distinction is essential to producing reliable content. Saying that a player “was presented with” or “drives” a vehicle is often more accurate than claiming that he owns it.
What Is the Most Powerful Car on the List?
Establishing a perfectly accurate ranking is difficult because model years and configurations are not always known. Based on comparable current versions, three models stand out:
the Audi RS Q8 associated with Nick Suzuki;
the Audi RS6 Avant associated with Ivan Demidov;
the BMW X5 M associated with Alexandre Carrier.
The current versions advertised by their manufacturers produce approximately 631, 621 and 617 horsepower respectively. These figures are included only as points of comparison and do not prove the exact output of the vehicles driven by the players.
Slafkovský's BMW M5 could also rank very highly, but its power depends heavily on the generation and version. The new hybrid M5 produces more power than the previous M5 Competition, but it does not necessarily correspond to the car photographed in 2024.
Which Car Best Matches Each Player?
Without claiming to know the players' personal motivations, some of these pairings seem particularly natural.
Cole Caufield and the Toyota GR Supra: a compact, agile and quick car for a forward known for his acceleration and shot.
Nick Suzuki and the Audi RS Q8: a versatile, powerful and understated vehicle for a complete captain.
Juraj Slafkovský and the BMW M5: a large, imposing sedan that combines strength and refinement.
Ivan Demidov and the Audi RS6: an original, extremely capable high-performance wagon.
Alexandre Carrier and the BMW X5 M: a rugged and practical performance SUV.
Lane Hutson and the Genesis GV70: a modern compact SUV associated with precision and technology.
These comparisons are obviously subjective, but they help explain why automotive and hockey enthusiasts enjoy seeing the vehicles selected by their favourite players.
What About Canadiens Players from 2020 and 2021?
Reliable public information is much scarcer at the beginning of the period covered. No comprehensive registry identifies the cars driven in 2020 by Carey Price, Shea Weber, Brendan Gallagher, Phillip Danault and all the other members of the team.
A player's absence from this article therefore does not mean that he did not own an interesting vehicle. It only means that no sufficiently clear and verifiable publication was retained for the period in question. The first well-documented association in this selection appeared in 2021 with Cole Caufield's modified Jeep Wrangler.
The Most Interesting Car: Our Verdict
In terms of outright performance, the RS Q8, RS6, X5 M and M5 are all impressive. When it comes to originality, however, two vehicles stand apart.
Cole Caufield's Toyota GR Supra is the only genuine two-seat sports car on the list. It prioritizes lightness, a low driving position and driver engagement. It is the most emotional choice.
Ivan Demidov's Audi RS6 Avant is probably the most versatile. It offers the space of a wagon, four doors, all-wheel drive and performance approaching that of a supercar. It is both suitable for Montreal and rare enough to attract enthusiasts.
Our choice therefore goes to Demidov's RS6 for its exceptional balance, while Caufield's Supra wins the award for the most distinctive vehicle.

What Car Does Cole Caufield Drive?
Cole Caufield was associated with a modified four-door Jeep Wrangler in 2021 and then a Toyota GR Supra in 2022. He may have changed vehicles since then, but no sufficiently precise and more recent public information was retained here.
What Car Does Ivan Demidov Own?
In May 2025, Location Paramount announced the delivery of a 2025 Audi RS6 to Ivan Demidov. The dealership's post is the most direct public source regarding his vehicle.
What Car Does Juraj Slafkovský Drive?
Juraj Slafkovský was photographed with a black BMW M5 Competition in December 2024 in a post produced with BMW Kingston.
What Car Does Lane Hutson Drive?
Lane Hutson drives a Genesis GV70 through a partnership announced by Genesis Canada in April 2026. The vehicle is intended for his personal use during the collaboration, but the announcement does not describe it as a personal purchase.
Do Canadiens Players Receive Their Cars for Free?
Not necessarily. Some players buy or lease their vehicles, while others enter into agreements with dealerships or manufacturers. The partnership between Lane Hutson and Genesis is explicitly public. For several other players, the financial terms remain confidential.
Which Brand Is the Most Popular Among the Vehicles Listed?
Audi is the most frequently represented brand in the public information retained: Nick Suzuki is associated with the S5 and RS Q8, Ivan Demidov with the RS6 and Jakub Dobeš with the Q5. BMW follows with Slafkovský's M5 and Carrier's X5 M.
Can Fans See the Players' Cars at the Bell Centre?
Videos occasionally show players arriving at the Bell Centre or leaving the practice facility. Their privacy should nevertheless be respected, and fans should not attempt to track their movements. Official posts by players, teams, brands and dealerships remain the best sources.
Conclusion
Between 2020 and 2026, the cars publicly associated with Montreal Canadiens players reflect a clear preference for performance models that can still be used every day. Nick Suzuki has been seen with Audi S5 and RS Q8 models, Cole Caufield with a modified Jeep Wrangler and Toyota GR Supra, Juraj Slafkovský with a BMW M5 Competition, Ivan Demidov with an Audi RS6, Alexandre Carrier with a BMW X5 M, Jakub Dobeš with an Audi Q5, and Lane Hutson with a Genesis GV70 supplied through a partnership.
German models dominate, but Caufield's Supra and Hutson's GV70 add variety. Above all, this research is a reminder that a car associated with an athlete is not always his personal property: it may also be leased or supplied by a partner.
As new players arrive in Montreal and automotive partnerships multiply, this list will probably continue to evolve. Fans will therefore have more opportunities to discover the vehicles that accompany Canadiens players away from the rink.
