The Toyota Corolla is now the best-selling car in Canada

The Toyota Corolla ended 2022 with over 33,000 models sold, nearly 4,000 units more than its closest competitor. In the process, it became the best-selling car in Canada, passing the Honda Civic and every other car in the country in terms of sales. This accomplishment is noteworthy for a vehicle that has always been highly sought-after in Canada and one of the best-selling cars in the world. 

Let’s take a look at what makes the 2023 Toyota Corolla so popular.

Impressive reliability, dependability, and safety

The success of the Toyota Corolla could be attributed to many factors, most prominently its dependability and cost of ownership. What's more, it offers cutting-edge safety features as part of its standard equipment package such as Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a suite of active technologies like automatic braking for other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, radar-based adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist. 

A long list of powertrains including hybrid and AWD models

The 2023 Corolla also provides an array of powertrains from which to choose with more engine options than other cars in its segment. Additionally, every model comes equipped with impressive fuel economy. Last year, Toyota announced an available all-wheel drive for the Corolla, providing Canadians who have to face winter driving conditions every year added incentive to choose a Corolla. 

The base engine in the new Corolla is particularly remarkable producing 169 hp, quite a bit more than competitors like the Honda Civic, Mazda3 or Hyundai Elantra while still offering an impressive fuel economy rating of under 8.0 litres per 100 kilometres. The Corolla doesn’t stop there, however. It also offers an available hybrid engine that averages under 5 litres per 100km. With so many options including one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on sale today with the Corolla Hybrid, there’s a model for everyone in the Corolla lineup.

The Corolla had a great year in 2022, but other Toyota models also did very well. This is true of the automaker’s hybrid models which continued to set new sales records, but also true of the Toyota RAV4. The Toyota compact SUV continued as the best-selling vehicle in the country outside of the truck segment. Give us a call today to learn more!
