Roundup / QUEBEC MARKET
Five SUVs that make sense for Quebec buyers once winter traction, fuel use, price and ownership costs are considered together.
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid: 2026 LE AWD from $40,626.92, rated 5.5 L/100 km combined.
Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid: $49,032 selling price, rated 6.4 L/100 km combined.
Mazda CX-5 GX: $36,300 MSRP, standard AWD, rated 9.0 L/100 km combined.
Chevrolet Equinox EV LT FWD: about $49,293.50 MSRP total vehicle price and up to 513 km range.
RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid SE: $48,750 MSRP, up to 80 km EV range and up to 324 hp.
For most families the RAV4 Hybrid is the most balanced answer. The CX-5 trades efficiency for a more upscale feel. The Equinox EV becomes a particularly strong ownership-cost play when home charging is easy.
Quebec requires winter tires from December 1 through March 15. AWD helps with traction, but proper winter tires still matter more than an AWD badge.
The redesigned 2026 RAV4 and CX-5 give shoppers a reason to buy new. On EVs, compare used discounts against new-vehicle incentive eligibility before deciding.
