We end with a couple of sedans, because we don’t want to overlook this format that still hangs around, diminished but still loved by many (as of now, roughly 25% of new vehicle sold in Canada are cars).

While the Subaru Legacy has gotten fully overhauled for 2020, one constant remains the presence of all-wheel drive – there’s no vehicle from the brand on the marker without it, in fact.

At Nissan, the arrival of AWD to the Altima is much more recent, but in both cases we can say these are very competent, reliable systems that work within the framework of vehicles that are immeasurable more pleasant to drive and handle than (almost) any SUV.
