Lastly, KBB identifies what it considers to be the best buy across the industry among new (i.e., brand-new or completely overhauled) models. This is inevitably a highly debatable choice, of course, but it’s hard to argue the Toyota Prius is not among the best buys on the market.

This car has been aesthetically magnificent since it was redesigned last year. What's more, its road manners are much more solid, and its power is more interesting than ever.

In Canada, it's only offered with all-wheel drive, making it an alternative to any SUV, due to its hatchback configuration.

Key qualities

  • - 4.8L/100 km average fuel consumption
