Pricing and grades

The Civic prices are for the 2025 model year and were published on June 12, 2024, with a note that they may be subject to change. The Corolla prices are for the 2026 model year and come from a Toyota release dated September 10, 2025. Honda’s Vehicle Selling Price includes $1,830 for freight and PDI, a $100 A/C charge, regulatory fees of up to $75 and other applicable fees and levies. Toyota’s Estimated Vehicle Price includes freight and PDI, the A/C charge, maximum dealer fees and other fees. Neither price includes taxes, licence, insurance or registration.

Toyota’s release also states that the 2026 Corolla is “now on sale in Canada with starting MSRP of $24,520”. That figure covers the range as a whole, and the hybrid grades above are priced separately.
