Today’s vehicles are more powerful than ever, that’s a fact. And with the Mitsubishi Mirage not returning for 2025, there won’t be any cars left with less than 100 horsepower in Canada.
But what exactly is a “powerful” vehicle? It depends on who you ask, of course. For some, it’s strictly a matter of horsepower. For others, it’s more about torque and acceleration.
Let’s be honest, 200 horsepower no longer impresses anyone these days. At 300 horsepower, however, things are starting to get serious. If that’s what you’re after, here are the most affordable options on the market in 2024. As you’ll see, many of them come from a single brand in particular.
Note: The price for each vehicle is the base Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) at the time of writing and doesn’t include applicable fees and taxes or any rebates from the manufacturer.
