Reviews Summary

The Toyota Corolla compact car accomplished a once-unthinkable feat in 2022 by unseating the Honda Civic as the best-selling car in Canada. Over the decades, the Corolla has stayed true to its original formula of delivering a reliable and economical vehicle for the masses. With the introduction of the Corolla Hybrid in 2020, that formula is even more relevant. Note the Corolla Hybrid is offered as a sedan only; the Corolla Hatchback is only available with a gas powertrain.

Reviews Summary

If you can overlook the real-world fuel economy and unimpressive crash-test ratings, then a 2024 Kia K5 is a steal of an automobile. (Don’t worry, it has an engine immobilizer system to prevent theft.) In Canada, it comes in LX, EX, GT-Line, and GT trim levels. Turbocharging is standard, and all-wheel drive is standard in Canada on every trim except the performance-oriented GT. The latter is a rare offering in this segment, and south of luxury brands it’s one matched only by the Nissan Altima.

Verdict: It’s a shame Kia doesn’t offer the K5 with a hybrid powertrain, and its performance in new, tougher-to-pass crash tests is worrisome. But there is no doubt the 2024 Kia K5 is a stylish, comfortable, enjoyable, and technologically advanced midsize car. And the price is undeniably nice.
