Cheaper and thriftier yet less sophisticated and refined than the Civic Hybrid, the Toyota Corolla Hybrid is still a smart purchase thanks to some of the lowest ownership costs in the entire industry. It’s also available with all-wheel drive, making it that much more compelling. AWD is a $1,500 option on the Corolla Hybrid LE (4.9 L/100 km) but standard on SE and XSE models (5.3 L/100 km).
