When it comes to compact cars, the most fuel-efficient vehicle is the Toyota Corolla Hybrid. The 1.8-litre four-cylinder hybrid is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Sure, the Corolla Hybrid isn’t the fastest car out of the gate, but it’s solid, comfortable and reliable. Plus, it returns impressive fuel-economy numbers. In the city, it delivers a very frugal 4.4 L/100 kilometres; on the highway, it’s 4.5 L/100 km. The annual fuel cost is estimated at only $1,125. The Corolla also comes with a long list of standard safety features and is available as a hatchback or gas-only sedan version. The 2021 conventional Corolla sedan starts at $19,350, while the hatchback is $21,390. There is a premium to pay to get into the hybrid sedan. It costs $25,090, but it’s still one of the cheapest hybrids on the market.
