Here’s the third edition of our annual guide to hybrid and electric cars available in Canada!

Toyota

Hybrid is a popular, even near-ubiquitous term at Toyota, as we saw with Lexus. The Prius nameplate is such a force for the Japanese company that it could almost be sold as a stand-alone brand. The diminutive Prius c ($22,260) is back on the menu for 2019, but its cancellation in the U.S. bodes not very well at for its survival in Canada. We’ll see what happens in 2020.

The Prius itself ($27,990) is of course back as well this year, but it has gotten a redesign and is now even being offered with all-wheel drive (in which case its price climbs to $28,990). Needless to say, this AWD-e variant is likely to get a warm reception up here in Canada

The Camry Hybrid sedan (31,550) is another solid option for consumers who want a comfortable sedan that positively sips gas by the drop-full in heavy city traffic.

Then there are the two hybrid SUVs with the Toyota name on the back: the next-gen RAV4 Hybrid ($32,090), now available in several different equipment configurations, and the Highlander Hybrid ($50,950), which calls out to big families wanting to reduce the frequency of trips to the pump.
