Best buy, Minivan - Toyota Sienna
The minivan market was once very popular, but over the last twenty years or so, its appeal has become more limited. There are now five players in the segment, including Stellantis' two representatives, the Chrysler Grand Caravan and the Chrysler Pacifica.
While the Honda Odyssey has long dominated this category, the year of the new-generation Sienna has muddied the waters. Available only in hybrid configuration, it offers families a highly efficient solution.
Key qualities
- - Excellent fuel economy
- - Several all-wheel drive versions
- - Reliability, low maintenance costs and excellent resale value.

Best buy, Compact Truck - Ford Maverick
The compact pickup segment is relatively new. Or should we say it's slowly rising from the ashes? In the 70s and 80s, there were several models of this format throughout the industry.
Today, there are two: the Hyundai Santa Cruz and the Ford Maverick. According to KBB, the latter is the obvious choice for 2024, because of the capabilities it offers in relation to its format.
Key qualities
- - Frugality of the hybrid version
- - Impressive capacities for its size (4,000 lb towing capacity, 1,500 lb payload)
- - Very practical format
