for this video I'm going to share my picks for the very best vehicles that you can buy for 2023 in each major vehicle category as well as my pick for the very best car of the year now even though I test and review over 50 brand new models every single year I'm actually not a huge fan of Car of the Year Awards but if I had to pick just one model to pick to win the award for a car of the year well stick around till the end of the video to find out which model that is and if you enjoy and get value of this video make sure to subscribe to my channel I post two videos a week always straight to the point valuable car buying advice designed to help you the consumer so before we get into my pick for the very best car of the year let's start off with a few other categories first starting with the best sedan of the year which is the 2023 Toyota Corolla hybrid the Corolla has long been known for its exceptional reliability low operating costs and terrific value for money and all of those qualities still remain true today all Toyota has done is enhance and expand the corolla's basic goodness especially with the new updates introduced for 2023 I will have a full test drive video coming on the new Corolla hybrid in the near future but for now let's just go over the basics for 2023 Toyota has expanded the Corolla hybrid offering a variety of different trim levels depending on the features and the budget that you have and they've also introduced all-wheel drive as an option on top of the base front wheel drive version they've also increased the power of the hybrid system while maintaining exceptional fuel economy which is something that the Corolla hybrid is really well known for the result is that you have a very well designed car with more than adequate performance all-wheel drive capability and most importantly of all really good fuel economy which is the main reason why anybody buys a hybrid and the best part is that you don't have to pay a huge price premium in order to get the hybrid option it only costs twelve hundred dollars more than the regular gas version in the US or around twenty five hundred dollars more in Canada which is a pretty reasonable premium it's more than worth it considering that the hybrid is going to save you a ton of money on gas in the long run and also thanks to the very high resale value of hybrids too and when you factor in the really affordable pricing of the Corolla hybrid well that just makes it an even better buy it the Corolla hybrid is one of the most affordable ways of getting into the door of electrified vehicle ownership and it's not like you're going to be missing out on a lot of features or technology either for 2023 Toyota has introduced a brand new 8-inch touchscreen multimedia infotainment system with Wireless Apple carplay and Android auto capability Toyota has also expanded the Corolla safety technology with Toyota safety Sense 3.0 which gets you the latest active safety technology so when you put it all together the amazing safety and Technology the hybrid system with its amazing fuel economy the availability of all-wheel drive the affordable pricing and the reliability of the Corolla in general it's really hard to find a better sedan that you can buy on the market right now no other sedan that you can buy on the market can combine all of these amazing attributes especially at this really affordable price so if you just want to buy an affordable car or a compact sedan then the Corolla hybrid is certainly worth a really close look so let's move on to the next vehicle category which is electric cars and the winner for the very best electric car that you can buy for 2023 is the Hyundai ioniq 5. now admittedly a lot of electric cars still come with a lot of compromises and many of them are just way too expensive for the average consumer and the technology still has a long way to go but the ioniq 5 shows us how far the technology has come in such a short amount of time and no matter which way you look at it by almost every single measure it really is an impressive car not only is it a visually striking car with an award-worthy design but it also comes with a lot of class leading technology you can get the ionic in a variety of different configurations including two wheel and all-wheel drive a standard or extended range battery with a driving range of up to 300mph miles or 480 kilometers it also comes with a really Advanced 800 volt charging system which gives it class-leading charging capability to match the very best EVS that you can buy on the market you also get a top-notch interior with plenty of upscale materials lots of interior space and cargo space and class leading technology too if you didn't know it was a Hyundai you could easily be fooled into thinking you were sitting in some kind of high-end luxury car with double the price tag and even though the ionic 5 is not exactly affordably priced it is very competitive when you compare it against a lot of other EVS that you can buy it's no surprise really that Hyundai has caught up to Tesla as one of the best selling brands on the market for electric vehicles right now the same is also true of Kia which has introduced the ev6 which is basically the platform cousin of the ionic 5. either way if you really want to get into the door of EV ownership the ionic 5 is a great place to start and next up we'll do the truck category with the winner for the very best truck of the year being the Ford Maverick hybrid now I know this one might be a little bit controversial especially for those who don't consider the Maverick to be a proper quote-unquote truck but the reality is that the Maverick is exactly what a lot of truck buyers are looking for something that's not too large but still really practical and useful easy to drive and maneuver around the city but most importantly of all something that's affordably priced and that's especially true if you go for the Maverick hybrid which is the most affordable version for 2023 the Maverick hybrid is priced from just over 24 000 us or just over 30 000 Canadian which makes it way more affordable than almost any other truck on the market and for that you get a really well designed and time-tested hybrid system which uses a simple naturally aspirated 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine with a two motor hybrid setup and an ecvt producing around 191 horsepower on top of having a 1500 pound payload capacity and a 2 000 pound towing capacity the hybrid is also able to achieve around 40 miles per gallon or 6 liters per 100 kilometers which is phenomenal fuel economy for a truck you also have a useful four and a half foot bed a spacious interior with really roomy back seats and more than enough technology too including an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple carplay and Android auto as a whole the Maverick hybrid really delivers a lot of value for the money and given that it has a well-proven hybrid system with a good track record for reliability from other Ford models I would say this is a solid buy of course there are plenty of fancier more capable and larger trucks that you can buy on the market but they also carry much higher price tags the Maverick hybrid is really something different the type of truck that a lot of buyers have been waiting for something that's affordable to buy offers plenty of capability but also has a bit of a twist with a hybrid system that's going to save you a lot of money on gas too it really is a great option and an easy winner for the best truck of the year and next up we'll do the SUV crossover category with the winner being the Toyota RAV4 hybrid and RAV4 Prime there are many reasons why I chose the RAV4 for the best crossover SUV that you can buy for the year even though there have been a number of brand new redesigned SUVs that have come out in the past year none of them can quite match the same combination of winning trades that you get with the RAV4 hybrid for one thing the RAV4 hybrid still delivers class leading fuel economy able to achieve 40 miles per gallon or 6 liters per 100 kilometers and the RAV4 Prime is also class leading among plug-in hybrid SUVs too achieving just over 40 miles or 65 kilometers on pure electric range they also deliver great performance a smooth quiet Driving Experience and plenty of features and safety technology at a really affordable price the RAV4 also has one of the most diverse lineups with several different trim levels to choose from depending on what features you want and what your budget is and Toyota has even introduced a number of great updates for 2023 including introducing a brand new new multimedia interface for the touchscreen infotainment system with Wireless Apple carplay and Android auto and on top of all of that you have what are probably the most attractive qualities of the RAV4 in general which are its exceptional reputation for reliability and Rock Solid resale value too ultimately most crossover SUV buyers are looking for Quality reliability having great fuel economy matched with a lot of safety and Technology too and these are all things that you get with the RAV4 hybrid and Prime and the fact that you're getting all these amazing qualities at a really attractive price point sometimes thousands cheaper than the competition well it just makes the RAV4 a total no-brainer so with that one out of the way let's move on to the next category which is the sports car category I threw this one in just for a little bit of fun and actually picked two winners for the best sports cards of the year which are the Porsche 911 GT3 and the Mazda MX-5 I picked both of these for the winners because they represent two opposite ends of the sports car Spectrum one is an affordable and attainable sports car that almost any consumer can buy whereas the other one is more of an aspirational sports car that only a handful of wealthy and lucky buyers will be able to own one day on the affordable end the MX-5 really is one of the best sports cars available on the market right now despite having driven a number of brand new performance cars that have hit the market in the past year I keep coming back to the ms5 for its basic no-nonsense Simplicity and its engaging fun Driving Experience if you just want a simple engaging and entertaining sports car to have a little bit of fun with you really can't do much better than the MX-5 and when you throw in its affordable pricing amazing reputation for strong reliability and low operating costs it really is a no-brainer if you just want to have fun on a budget but if you're on the opposite end of the spectrum where money is not a big issue then you're definitely going to want to take a close look at the 911 GT3 by far this this was the very best sports car that I drove in 2022 for ultimate speed performance and excitement it really delivers everything that you could possibly want in a car like this a high revving race inspired Engine with over 500 horsepower amazing acceleration a standard 6-speed manual gearbox and a phenomenal engine sound the desirability is through the roof which is reflected in how unobtainable it is to buy on the market ordering a brand new one is a major Challenge and even if you can find a dealer that has one they're often asking almost double the original MSRP but if you can somehow manage to get your hands on one no question you are going to have one of the very best sports cars that you can possibly buy and that brings us to the final category which is my pick for the very best car of the year and that pick is the best car 2023 the Toyota Corolla Hybrid Toyota really did a phenomenal job with all the updates for this model year they took what was already great with the Corolla hybrid but just made it a lot better adding more power available all-wheel drive and a lot more options and trim levels to choose from depending on your budget but at the same time they maintain what was already great with the Corolla hybrid it's amazing fuel economy and it's really affordable pricing and not only is it affordable to buy packed with technology and offers all-wheel drive with amazing fuel economy but you also have one of the very best reputations for reliability on the market ultimately the Corolla hybrid delivers almost everything that the average consumer is looking for in an affordable compact car and for that it gets an easy win for the very best car of the year so let me know what you thought of this video do you agree with my picks
