The list of new cars available with a manual transmission grows shorter each year.

For 2026, we lost a few vehicle models from last year and we’ll lose a few more at the end of this year.

But, for now, let’s enjoy the vehicles that still save the manuals.

Below is a look at all the 2026 model year light-duty vehicles (cars, SUVs and pickup trucks) that are available with a manual transmission in Canada.

A few ground rules for the list: we’re not including any ultra low-volume exotic cars, few-offs, one-offs or specialty models, and we’re not including any vehicles that don’t have a direct sales presence in Canada. Additionally, the prices listed for each car are based on the lowest price with a stick shift. Some of the vehicles listed below are available at lower prices but with an automatic transmission.

Not all automakers have announced 2026 model year details such as pricing yet. For those models, we’ll go with 2025 details for now. This article will be updated as information becomes available.

The starting advertised price includes the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), plus fees and levies, as well as the estimated luxury tax for cars with an MSRP of more than $100,000. Fees and levies may vary by location. This list is based on Ontario advertised prices. Dealers may set their own prices and automakers may adjust their prices through the year. Check with your local dealer for an exact price.

The list is in descending order, starting with the most expensive.
