5th place: Hyundai Elantra – 24,283 units
We’re willing to bet nobody expected Hyundai’s compact sedan to become a bestselling car in 2011, but it successfully marries affordability with a striking exterior design.
Equipped with a 148-horsepower, 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine, the Elantra sedan benefits from good power and great fuel economy; as low as 6.8 L/100 km in the city and 4.9 L/100 km on the highway. It can be also be fitted with a bunch of luxury-car items, such as leather upholstery, an intelligent key, a navigation system as well as heated front and rear seats.
And let’s not forget the Elantra Touring wagon, which is still based on previous-generation mechanicals but offers a generous amount of cargo space at an interesting price point.
At its current sales pace, the Elantra could potentially celebrate New Year’s Eve as the bestlling car in Canada.
