Toyota Corolla
The Corolla lineup boasts 16 models, topped by the 300-horsepower, turbocharged GR Corolla (6-speed manual gearbox and AWD only). Available in sedan and hatchback body styles, Toyota’s dependable compact car offers a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that puts out 169 horsepower and a hybrid system with available AWD that achieves under 5 L/100 km. All that selection along with slightly cheaper prices have helped the Corolla dethrone the Honda Civic as the best-selling car in Canada.
