2018 Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius is an iconic vehicular symbol of the hybrid movement, efficiently combining fuel economy and design over its long two-decade lifespan. In 2018, the new Prius models achieved stunning EPA ratings of up to 56 mpg, coupled with the advantage of its powered Prime plug-in model yielding up to 25 miles of all-electric range.
The four-seater hatchback has grown comfortable for adult passengers, although a fifth can be squeezed in if you choose the standard hybrid. Neither quick nor quiet, this car more than makes up for it in ride and handling, making it a delightfully reliable selection on today’s market.
2018 Honda Clarity
Introducing the 2018 Honda Clarity, a futuristic-looking mid-size sedan that’s available as an electric car, a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, and a plug-in hybrid. Although the electric version of the Clarity has a disappointingly short range, the plug-in hybrid model offers up to 47 miles per charge and then delivers impressive efficiency with an EPA-estimated rating of 42 mpg after that range is used up. What’s more, its generous interior layout makes it stand out from similar high-range plug-in hybrids on the market, like the Chevrolet Volt.
2018 Mitsubishi Mirage
The 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage is a small car with big fuel savings potential. Boasting an impressive 37 mpg in the city and 43 mpg on the highway, this subcompact offers informed budget drivers tremendous value for fuel costs. Unfortunately, these savings come at the cost of power, with its 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine topping at just 78 horsepower.
While the space inside may seem smaller than you’d expect from the outside, it’s surprisingly roomy and able to handle anything from commuting to running errands or solo road trips. In addition to excellent gas mileage, you can also find a Mirage from this model year for less than $10,000 – making it an ideal option for a budget-conscious driver looking for efficiency and affordability.

But it isn’t skimping on power or comfort, either.
Its swift acceleration and tight handling are sure to please, while its quiet cabin will keep anyone feeling refreshed. The Camry Hybrid is a must-see if you’re shopping around for fuel efficiency, style, and sophistication combined with reasonable pricing.
